Abstract:
"When farmers discovered regions in North Carolina provided the right climate, elevation and soil to grow European grape varieties, vineyards sprouted across the state.

While the Burgundy region of France is well known to house the best pinots, other regions, such as Sonoma and Napa counties in California, have produced exceptional wines as well.

Abstract:
While the Teensy Winery may not be able to compete with the larger operations in the state in terms of volume, they are believed to be on par in quality. Bob Howard’s vineyard sits on about a third acre behind his house in the dry county of Rutherford. Howard contributes that quality of his product partly to being located in a microclimate that is perfect for growing grapes.
