Update on What We've Been Up To...

Today should be our final trip out to Breitenbach Winery to capture the last scenes of the new vineyard's construction. Having never seen a vineyard built (how many of us have?)we were surprised by the science behind the layout and the materials used in its construction. We're going to start editing another progress video once we get back to the studio, so look for it to be posted here soon.

Yesterday we posted new videos on our You Tube Channel. We started a new playlist featuring what we consider to be "classic" programs and sporting events from our days of programming local origination channel Cable TV-2. The first video we posted to it was the "Flood of 2005" special report, which was written and produced by Tim Tarulli.

The second video was a web video we put together for Breitenbach for the winter/spring 2009 season. It features photography by Jim Celuch, who we consider a master of his art form and one of the world's best shooters. Jim captured the photograph of winemaker Duke Bixler you see above. Watch the video and tell us what you think!

The New Vineyard at Breitenbach Winery

This week we've been making daily trips to Breitenbach Winery to record the progress of construction of a new vineyard. This is the first vineyard that Breitenbach owner and winemaker Duke Bixler has built at the Winery/Der Marktplatz location on State Route 39. Duke says he'll plant valiant grapes in the vineyard - which you see pictured here - and it'll take four to five years before the first fruits will be ready to pick. Today we conducted an interview with Duke at the vineyard site. Click on the video to get a preview of what he had to say and to view the beginning stage of construction.



We'll give you periodic updates of the vineyard construction project: which is another good reason why you should subscribe to this blog.

Isn't it amazing how warm, sunny days in March can lift you out of the winter doldrums quickly?
