Recently I bought a little device that converts slides to digital. I can then transfer them to my computer. The other day I found a picture of our first winery building amongst the debris of clearing the land. I am including that here and as I find more "historical" Sierra Vista Winery photos I will show them here.
on another subject more than half of our vineyards are planted on their own roots, no foreign rootstock here. I know from our trial plot that rootstock changes the taste of the grape. I wondered if there were any trials done so I googled own Root grape vines and came up with this URL It is a nice short article that gives more pertinent information than I have. Read it and see why our cabs and Syrahs and even Zins have good ageing potential . Read it. It's not long. http://www.aromadictionary.com/articles/grapevinerootstock_article.html

Fascinating. I've often wondered about this. Had no idea someone had done comparisons. Makes me glad we planted on your Estrella River native rootstock.
