Life
Eight years in the Navy [Nuclear Submarines] followed by 13 years in the reserves [retired]. 2.75 years at the Univ. of FLA. - Nuclear Engineering Degree.

My wife and I restored [1992-1997] an 1892 Victorian House in the Charlottesville, VA area and sold it in 1999. We moved to Washington state but it isn't for us long term. So we decided to look for a place in Virginia to settle down with some acreage and we have 39 acres with eleven acres in grapes and a home in town. We have plans to build soon.

2009.
I have started a vineyard and have 10.5 acres planted, of which 7.5 acres are in production. Vines were planted in 2009, 2011, 2012, 2013, & 2014. Initial harvests were 2.1, 2,2, 1.5, & 8.5. Now that production is up, we are starting a wine club now that we have obtained our license. Our 2014 red wine won a silver medal this year in the Virginia Governors Cup blind wine tasting. the average score of the top three judges was an 85. Our complete inventory includes a very drinkable Red wine, a smooth White,a fruity White Blend, and a very lovely Blush. All wines are Semi-Dry or or Off-Dry, meaning they have a small amount of residual sugar but NOT sweet.
