It's Not Warm Enough!","description":"\u003cmeta content=\"text\/html; charset=utf-8\" http-equiv=\"Content-Type\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Story of the Origin of Red Wharf Bay Vineyard. Have you ever thought of planting a vineyard and running it as a business? Maybe you should read this book first. The original plan was to establish a small commercial vineyard in Andalucia in southern Spain but a combination of circumstances dictated that it finished up being fifteen hundred miles away on an island off the North Wales coast. The first few vines had actually been planted on a gardening whim in our field in Anglesey a few years before but they were totally mismanaged and eventually produced a small amount of unremarkable wine. Despite this somewhat insipid achievement the idea for the Andalucian project was spawned (surely it would be easier in a better climate!). Well, the climate in Spain is definitely better suited to producing grapes but the regulations weren’t! Undaunted by the disappointments there and now more determined, I learned a bit more about this delightful, infuriating profession and then thought that I could, in fact, probably do it properly in Anglesey. So Red Wharf Bay Vineyard became unexpectedly into existence. You would have to say that it’s a bit of an unlikely tale, indeed it became a bit of a saga. Then I thought I wanted to tell people about it because I think there’s a story worth telling and I like telling stories, because I have enjoyed it (am enjoying it) and because I think it’s a good story (but you must be the judge of that). Here you are then, the tale of how it all unfolded.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41050669154401,"sku":"9781803814698","price":11.79,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/673202417a5a612ed64d5d7cdcae1477.jpg?v=1698311499","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781803814698-a-vineyard-in-north-wales-its-not-warm-enough-the-story-of-the-origin-of-red-wharf-bay-vineyard","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
