Planting the Valiant Grape Vines

After editing this video, I have a great appreciation for the Breitenbach Wine Cellar workers who planted the valiant grape vineyard. It was hard work. And it would of been way harder if they'd gone "old school" and dug the planting holes by hand. Thank goodness for the post hole digger!

You'll see Breitenbach winemaker and owner Duke Bixler directing the placement of the planting holes. He is one of the most driven and forward-thinking entrepreneurs we've ever met. It's exhilarating to work with him. It was evident that everyone working on the side of that hill knew what they were doing was very important. By the way Duke has officially named the vineyard the "Roadhouse Red Vineyard" after his signature red wine. If you've never tasted Roadhouse Red, you need to get your hands on a bottle as soon as possible. It's a red that goes well with every food. Duke says that's the reason Roadhouse Red has become so popular, to the point it almost has a cult following. Matter of fact I'm going to try it with Beer Nuts when I sit down to watch the next Cavs game.
