At a Historic Vineyard Society tasting you are there to appreciate vineyards, and the sensory qualities of wines only insofar as their expression of those historic vineyards. The question, though, is are trade, media and consumer advocates willing to back up this enthusiasm by supporting the products of growers and vintners dedicated to saving historic vineyards? Let’s discuss!

I may be older, but I’m not yet dead! Favorite photographs of old old people and vines, along with some nonsensical rhymes, in today’s Substack… re https://rcaparoso.substack.com/p/old-people-old-vines

Old vines are not just an academic topic about the age of vineyards, but also about increased consumer interest in sense of place and authenticity!

Favorite old vine photography illustrating how Historic Vineyard Society's upcoming 2026 HVS in the City (May 16, San Francisco) is signaling a changing of a tide in the appreciation of old vine wines and vineyards.

Lest you forget, my book "Lodi!" is still available through kitchencincopress.com. It is not just the authoritative treatise on America's largest winegrowing region, written for both scholars and pure wine lovers alike. It contains chapters devoted to the old vine viticulture and alternative wine grapes associated with the appellation, with over 400 of my photos.
