Domaine Lerouge in Nebraska?1
Well, here we go. After many years of dreaming, one of my goal is taking shape. A vineyard! Not a big one but big enough to start with. It will happen at my friends house Pierre and Barbara in Blair Nebraska. And yes, you did read well, Blair Nebraska! We will not grow any Cabernet, Merlot or any of the common grapes but more an French-American Hybrid called “Marquette“, a grape who can sustain the Nebraska cold weather. We will plant in the Spring 2009 1/3 of an acre, around 190 plants. Not to big, just enough to get our feet wet. The “vineyard” will be located in the beautiful and hilly countryside North of Omaha. The picture in the following link is actually the location where the post will go very soon. We already took a rough measurement to estimate the number of plant we will need.

I will try to keep you updated with all this exciting informations.
