Those working the wineries are busy pretty much year-round, but beginning in April things get particularly busy. So I'm especially grateful to Carl Helrich, who along with Kris Miller, his wife, have been directing Allegro Vineyards since 2000. It's a winery with deep roots, so to speak, with most of the vines dating back to 1973, according to the Allegro Web site. They grow six varieties of grapes over five acres in southern York County; you can find their dot on the map by a town called The Brogue.
Carl was kind enough to be a guinea pig for this first of what hopefully will be many podcasts. Any problems with the quality of the tape is my fault; ahhh, started with the wrong equipment and then slogged through the learning process of saving and uploading files. Still, it's a good first try, as Helrich answers a few questions about the pace at the vineyards this time of year and other related issues. He also sent these photos from his archives that show the beginning of the new growth on the vines, the most vivid message of all that it's time to get back to work.
Live and learn,
Paul
