Harvest is rapidly wrapping up! During the harvest season we will provide periodic (~weekly) updates on how things are going in Fennville as the fruit comes in.
In this episode we cover a brief history of Traminette, a hybrid grape developed in the 1960's and brought to market by Cornell University in 1996. Traminette has a very famous parent, Gewurtztraminer, that contributes to its spicy, floral flavors—notes of lychee, rose, and white pepper—without the parent’s susceptibility to cold and disease.
During this episode we refer back to our rose episode when talking about methods of rose production. We also discussed the recent rainfall. We have a weather station on the farm you can check out at https://www.fennvalley.com/current-weather-data/.
Kai Lesperance, Brian's son, also makes a guest appearance!
Note: this episode is audio only. We will provide video when it adds value, but given the time craziness of harvest, we will prioritize getting content out over polished production.
