FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1772.72 3.04 So<space>then<space>the<space>next<space>person<space>grabs<space>each<space>bottle,<space>pops<space>'em<space>on<space>the<space>filler. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1775.76 1.68 It's<space>a<space>gravity<space>filler. |

FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1786.88 10.48 The<space>corker<space>actually<space>pulls<space>a<space>vacuum<space>in<space>the<space>little<space>two<space>inch<space>space<space>in<space>the<space>neck<space>of<space>the<space>bottle,<space>sucks<space>out<space>all<space>of<space>the<space>air<space>and<space>then<space>pumps<space>the<space>cork<space>in<space>and<space>puts<space>it<space>back<space>in<space>the<space>case. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1797.36 6.80 So<space>every<space>bottle<space>has<space>been<space>handled<space>at<space>least<space>four<space>times<space>before<space>it<space>goes<space>to<space>sale. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1804.88 3.68 You<space>always<space>a<space>wine<space>drinker,<space>or<space>is<space>this<space>something<space>that<space>you've? |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1808.64 7.52 No,<space>people<space>ask<space>me<space>that<space>and<space>I<space>enjoyed<space>wine,<space>but<space>I<space>was<space>not<space>really<space>serious<space>or<space>fanatical<space>about<space>it,<space>or<space>really<space>that<space>knowledgeable<space>about<space>it. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1816.16 4.80 I've<space>pretty<space>much<space>came<space>to<space>this<space>from<space>the<space>farming<space>side,<space>rather<space>than<space>the<space>wine<space>side. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1821.36 7.52 But<space>of<space>course,<space>as<space>I've<space>gotten<space>into<space>it,<space>I've<space>learned<space>a<space>tremendous<space>amount<space>about<space>wine<space>and<space>it's<space>a<space>wonderful<space>thing. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1829.20 7.12 It's<space>a<space>wonderful<space>thing<space>to<space>know<space>about,<space>it's<space>a<space>whole<space>world<space>of<space>experience<space>to<space>enjoy. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1836.32 5.28 Yeah,<space>and<space>it's<space>been<space>one<space>of<space>the<space>more<space>satisfying<space>parts<space>about<space>it. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1841.68 1.76 I'm<space>sure<space>it's<space>very<space>rewarding. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1843.44 1.84 It's<space>very<space>rewarding<space>learning<space>all<space>about<space>it. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1845.76 7.04 And<space>it's<space>not<space>some<space>great<space>mystery<space>that<space>you<space>have<space>to<space>have,<space>some<space>specialized<space>knowledge<space>about<space>it. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1853.04 5.76 The<space>main<space>thing<space>is<space>just<space>to<space>taste<space>a<space>lot<space>of<space>different<space>kinds<space>of<space>wines<space>and<space>take<space>the<space>time<space>to<space>pay<space>attention<space>to<space>what<space>you're<space>tasting. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1858.80 6.88 And<space>all<space>of<space>a<space>sudden<space>you<space>start<space>to<space>see<space>patterns<space>and<space>recognize<space>certain<space>flavors<space>and<space>then<space>it<space>all<space>clicks<space>into<space>place. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1865.68 2.88 So<space>this<space>is<space>a<space>look<space>at<space>our<space>range<space>of<space>wines. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1868.64 1.52 We<space>make<space>10<space>different<space>wines. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1870.48 5.20 There<space>are<space>two<space>grapes<space>with<space>the<space>biggest<space>production,<space>our<space>Marquette<space>and<space>La<space>Crescent. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1875.92 1.76 Marquette<space>is<space>our<space>dry<space>red<space>wine. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1877.76 2.72 This<space>is<space>overall<space>our<space>biggest<space>selling<space>wine. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1880.72 5.92 We<space>also<space>make<space>a<space>rosé<space>from<space>the<space>Marquette<space>grape,<space>which<space>is<space>same<space>grape,<space>different<space>winemaking<space>technique. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1886.64 2.48 We<space>call<space>that<space>Hartwood,<space>that's<space>a<space>new<space>wine<space>for<space>us. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1889.12 1.44 That's<space>been<space>really<space>popular. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1890.80 7.76 The<space>Le<space>Crescent<space>is<space>a<space>white<space>wine<space>grape,<space>and<space>we<space>actually<space>make<space>three<space>different<space>wines<space>from<space>that. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1898.72 10.72 We<space>make,<space>why<space>don't<space>we<space>call<space>it<space>just<space>the<space>Crescent,<space>which<space>is<space>on<space>the,<space>it's<space>not<space>completely<space>dry,<space>but<space>it's<space>on<space>the<space>dry<space>side<space>with<space>just<space>a<space>small<space>amount<space>of<space>residual<space>sugar. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1909.92 5.28 Then<space>we<space>also<space>make<space>a<space>sweeter<space>version,<space>which<space>we<space>call<space>Ragtime<space>White. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1915.36 6.08 And<space>it's<space>not<space>only<space>sweeter,<space>but<space>it's<space>got<space>a<space>little<space>different<space>flavor<space>profile<space>as<space>well. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1921.52 2.96 And<space>it's<space>got<space>a<space>little<space>spiciness<space>to<space>go<space>along<space>with<space>the<space>sweetness. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1924.96 4.08 Then<space>we<space>make<space>one,<space>we<space>call<space>Late<space>Harvest,<space>which<space>is<space>sweeter<space>still. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1929.60 7.04 And<space>this<space>is<space>more<space>of<space>just<space>a<space>pure<space>fruit<space>flavor<space>with<space>a<space>nice<space>mouth<space>feel<space>to<space>it. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1936.64 9.04 And<space>really<space>delicious,<space>it's<space>a<space>kind<space>of<space>a<space>dessert<space>wine<space>or<space>something<space>with<space>an<space>aged<space>cheese<space>and<space>a<space>nice<space>aged<space>Gouda<space>cheese<space>-<space>Yeah,<space>there<space>you<space>go. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1945.68 7.44 would<space>be<space>perfect<space>with<space>this,<space>but<space>we<space>have,<space>we<space>have<space>ideal<space>conditions<space>for<space>making<space>ice<space>wine<space>here,<space>right<space>now... |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1953.12 1.04 Can<space>you<space>talk<space>about<space>that<space>little<space>bit? |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1954.24 1.84 Ice<space>wine<space>is<space>the<space>grapes<space>are<space>actually<space>frozen. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1956.40 8.48 So<space>right<space>now<space>the<space>world's<space>center<space>of<space>ice<space>wine<space>production<space>is<space>Ontario,<space>Canada,<space>but<space>it's<space>really,<space>the<space>conditions<space>here<space>are<space>better. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1964.88 1.28 We<space>have<space>better<space>grape<space>varieties. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1966.16 2.56 We<space>have<space>more<space>consistent<space>cold<space>weather<space>in<space>the<space>early<space>winter. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1968.72 5.44 So<space>ice<space>wine<space>is<space>a<space>dessert<space>wine,<space>it's<space>made<space>by<space>leaving<space>the<space>grapes<space>on<space>the<space>vines,<space>into<space>the<space>early<space>winter. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1974.24 3.60 You<space>pick<space>'em<space>the<space>first<space>time<space>it<space>reaches<space>18<space>degrees<space>Fahrenheit. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1977.92 7.36 At<space>that<space>temperature,<space>they're<space>about<space>three<space>quarters<space>frozen,<space>but<space>what<space>freezes<space>is<space>pure<space>water. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1985.36 4.56 And<space>the<space>one<space>quarter<space>that's<space>not<space>frozen,<space>is<space>concentrated<space>of<space>everything<space>else. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1990.00 3.12 All<space>the<space>flavors,<space>sugars<space>are<space>in<space>that<space>one<space>quarter<space>that's<space>not<space>frozen. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 1993.12 8.16 So<space>you<space>press<space>the<space>grapes<space>while<space>they're<space>still<space>frozen,<space>you<space>leave<space>the<space>water<space>behind<space>as<space>ice<space>crystals<space>and<space>you<space>get<space>this<space>super<space>concentrated<space>juice. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2001.36 2.24 And<space>it's<space>just<space>a<space>fabulous<space>product. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2003.60 1.84 And<space>that<space>is<space>something<space>that<space>you're<space>working<space>on? |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2005.60 2.08 Oh,<space>we<space>make<space>it,<space>we<space>make<space>it<space>now. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2007.76 3.84 But<space>what<space>I'm<space>saying<space>is,<space>I<space>think<space>Vermont<space>has<space>the<space>potential,<space>but<space>we<space>sell<space>it<space>all<space>here. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2011.60 1.04 We<space>sell<space>it<space>all<space>right<space>here. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2012.72 1.92 It's<space>not<space>a<space>big<space>production<space>item<space>for<space>us. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2014.64 5.20 It<space>sells<space>at<space>a<space>very<space>high<space>price<space>because<space>it<space>takes<space>so<space>many<space>more<space>grapes<space>and<space>there's<space>a<space>lot<space>more<space>risk<space>involved. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2019.84 2.00 And<space>you're<space>cold<space>when<space>you're<space>harvesting. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2022.32 9.68 You're<space>cold,<space>right<space>-<space>I<space>just<space>want<space>to<space>backup<space>a<space>minute,<space>thinking<space>about<space>regions<space>of<space>production,<space>are<space>people<space>doing<space>this<space>over<space>in<space>New<space>York<space>state,<space>across<space>the<space>pond? |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2033.68 5.36 There<space>are<space>some,<space>I'm<space>not<space>as<space>familiar<space>with<space>what's<space>going<space>on<space>over<space>there. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2039.92 3.28 There<space>are<space>a<space>few<space>starting<space>in<space>the<space>Champlain<space>valley. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2043.20 6.08 And<space>then<space>actually<space>there's<space>a<space>little<space>cluster<space>getting<space>started<space>over<space>in<space>the<space>St.<space>Lawrence<space>valley,<space>kind<space>of<space>north<space>of<space>Watertown,<space>in<space>that<space>area. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2049.44 2.72 Anything<space>in<space>the<space>Connecticut<space>river<space>valley<space>or<space>not<space>quite? |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2052.24 4.96 Yeah,<space>there's<space>some<space>vineyards<space>going<space>over<space>there. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2057.20 5.44 I<space>think<space>the<space>Champlain<space>valley<space>tends<space>to<space>be<space>a<space>little<space>drier,<space>a<space>little<space>less<space>foggy<space>in<space>the<space>fall. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2064.08 19.68 And<space>so<space>the<space>conditions<space>are<space>a<space>little<space>bit<space>better<space>here,<space>but<space>we're<space>still,<space>an<space>emerging<space>grape<space>region<space>goes<space>through<space>a<space>transition<space>and<space>you<space>can<space>tell<space>when<space>you're<space>sort<space>of<space>starting<space>to<space>be<space>serious<space>and<space>that<space>goes,<space>and<space>that's<space>from<space>when<space>people<space>plant<space>grapes<space>on<space>the<space>land<space>they<space>happen<space>to<space>own<space>already. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2083.92 8.96 But<space>when<space>people<space>start<space>looking<space>for<space>good<space>land,<space>that's<space>suited<space>to<space>grapes<space>and<space>that<space>really<space>hasn't<space>happened<space>in<space>Vermont<space>yet,<space>and... |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2093.92 1.44 But<space>Sarah's<space>coming<space>along. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2095.44 2.40 Yeah,<space>that<space>could<space>happen. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2097.84 6.16 I<space>mean,<space>we<space>obviously<space>planted<space>grapes<space>on<space>the<space>land<space>we<space>happened<space>to<space>have,<space>it's<space>pretty<space>good<space>for<space>grapes. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2104.00 0.80 It's<space>not<space>perfect. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2104.88 8.40 I<space>would<space>say<space>that<space>our<space>biggest<space>problem<space>here<space>is<space>the<space>soil<space>is<space>just<space>too<space>rich<space>and<space>fertile,<space>which<space>causes<space>all<space>that<space>vegetative<space>growth. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2113.28 2.96 I<space>was<space>talking<space>about<space>that<space>we<space>have<space>to<space>deal<space>with<space>in<space>the<space>early<space>summer. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2116.24 0.96 What<space>a<space>problem<space>to<space>have. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2117.76 0.48 Well,<space>it<space>is. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2118.32 1.84 It<space>is<space>a<space>problem. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2121.28 8.40 The<space>ideal<space>grape<space>regions<space>are<space>on<space>this<space>kind<space>of<space>poorer,<space>gravelly,<space>bony<space>soil,<space>and<space>really,<space>there's<space>no<space>magic<space>to<space>that. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2129.68 1.68 It's<space>just<space>that<space>they<space>don't<space>grow<space>so<space>much. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2131.36 0.56 Yeah,<space>grapes<space>are. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2131.92 4.24 So<space>the<space>grapes<space>get<space>a<space>lot<space>more<space>sun,<space>it's<space>all<space>about<space>getting<space>the<space>sun<space>on<space>those<space>grapes. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2136.72 2.32 So<space>I<space>think<space>there<space>are<space>good<space>sites<space>in<space>Vermont. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2139.44 4.00 I<space>think<space>I<space>know<space>what<space>they<space>are,<space>but<space>I'm<space>not<space>going<space>to<space>be<space>the<space>one<space>to<space>go<space>-<space>Develop<space>them. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2143.68 0.64 develop<space>them. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2144.32 1.36 But<space>maybe<space>somebody<space>will. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2145.68 3.20 But<space>as<space>you're<space>driving<space>down<space>the<space>road,<space>you<space>think,<space>ah,<space>boy,<space>that<space>would<space>be<space>a<space>good<space>spot. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2149.12 2.16 I<space>think,<space>if<space>I<space>had<space>to<space>spell<space>it<space>out. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2151.92 10.96 In<space>this<space>kind<space>of<space>the<space>southern<space>Champlain<space>valley,<space>kind<space>of<space>from<space>Shoreham<space>all<space>the<space>way<space>down<space>to<space>like<space>West<space>Haven,<space>that<space>on<space>the<space>hilltops,<space>there's<space>this<space>shaley<space>soil,<space>I<space>think<space>it's<space>called<space>Farmington<space>for<space>the<space>most<space>part. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2162.96 8.16 And<space>I<space>think<space>those<space>shaley<space>hilltops<space>in<space>the<space>southern<space>Champlain<space>valley,<space>I<space>think<space>that<space>that<space>is<space>just<space>the<space>perfect<space>environment<space>for<space>Vermont<space>grapes. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2171.12 2.64 So<space>there<space>you<space>go,<space>that's<space>the<space>tip<space>of<space>the<space>day,<space>you<space>just<space>spilled<space>the<space>beans. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2173.76 1.76 There<space>you<space>go. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2176.40 6.88 So<space>people<space>ask<space>me<space>sometimes,<space>how<space>has<space>climate<space>change<space>affected<space>grape<space>growing<space>here? |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2183.28 3.76 Well,<space>actually<space>people<space>say,<space>well,<space>the<space>reason<space>that<space>we're<space>growing<space>grapes<space>in<space>Vermont<space>is<space>because<space>the<space>climate<space>is<space>warming<space>up. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2187.04 0.56 No,<space>it's<space>not. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2187.60 0.40 Yeah,<space>development. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2188.00 3.28 It's<space>because<space>of<space>the<space>new<space>genetics<space>we<space>have,<space>these<space>new<space>varieties. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2193.20 2.32 I<space>don't<space>know<space>what<space>climate<space>changes<space>can<space>do. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2195.52 9.76 All<space>I<space>can<space>say<space>is,<space>looking<space>over<space>the<space>last,<space>eight,<space>10<space>years,<space>what<space>it<space>seems<space>like,<space>is<space>that<space>it's<space>getting<space>more<space>rain,<space>more<space>and<space>more<space>rain. |
|
FarmersTalk_-_Lincoln_Peak 1 2205.36 1.44 Particularly<space>early<space>in<space>the<space>season. |
|
