What types of grapes can you grow on this land? I don't know much about wine but I know that soil matters. And how long does it take from planting until the bottle is ready for sale?

I grow Pinot Noir exclusively and its the only red that grows well in my climate.

Assuming everyhting goes well, you're looking at 4 years before the first crop after planting and I age another 2 years before I sell the wine.

That first wine won't even be that good as the grapes need a decade + to come into young maturity and even more time to truly become great. My dad planted my pinot vineyard 20 years ago

Wow, it's something of a tradition then. I'm glad you're carrying it forward. Do you transfer this patience in production to the way you manage your bitcoin?
