Welcome to the site

Hello, and welcome to Vineyard Roots!

My name is Victor, and this site/blog/thought area is a place for me to discuss and describe mine and my wife’s journey to fulfilling our dream-to have a vineyard. It has always been a personal goal of mine, to own and run a vineyard. I love growing things and I love grapes, therefore a vineyard was a logical dream to have. Luckily my wife who hates to work also is on board! You gotta love her for that.

I have been meaning to start this site in July 2016, but we were in full blown power mode planning our September wedding back then. Now, as its October, the wedding is finally over (it was a blast) and our lives have returned to normal. We are no longer feeling like we are back in college with the constant nag of wedding “homework” to do after real work. Now we are free!- to a point that is. Our new short term task (or my wife’s newest anxiety) is the purchase of a house. Between fall TV watching that she loves and house hunting online her free time is very little. We have some time before house hunting though, since we need to save for a down payment first.

About this site: I plan to update the site on a regular basis. There is no point in having anyone read our saga if there are no regular scheduled updates! I will post our week to week jobs and tasks related to realizing our dream. There will be other posts on topics that interest me, and possibly a few too many topics on plants. Some posts will be “how-tos” aka tutorial posts. Some posts will be informative, or just me questioning things. I will try not to rant and I am not a fan of politics, so there will not be any of that to taint the site. I look forward to hopefully have the chance to look back on this written record as a testament to a couple who achieved their dreams.

About myself: I like to keep things simple. I like to garden and grow things. I enjoy being outside in nature, be it in the woods or at home in the backyard. I love spending time outside with my dog. I love my wife very much. None of these things are in any order of importance of course!

I believe that in life, anything can be achieved. I see other individuals go out and start businesses, so that makes me want to do the same. I want to struggle with a challenge. I want to grow grapes and bring wine to the world. I want to be my own boss. I believe that me and my wife together can do just that.

So, follow me on our journey. I look forward to taking you along for the ride. Enjoy life and take it slow.
