I think that's true on both counts. Certainly the lower the elevation the more the sedimentary soils present themselves. I appreciate your clarification.<BR/><BR/>Looking back on the AVA map, I see your vineyard up Muddy Valley Road with a steep hill to your west. I imagine you're in a more protected area that isn't quite as extreme as the ridges directly exposed to the Van Duzer corridor. Maybe I should find out for myself. I'll see when I can get down there. Thanks for the invite.Vincent Fritzschehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18153962387209512138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10545804.post-31457062545557507322009-02-02T20:58:00.000-08:002009-02-02T20:58:00.000-08:00Vincent:Thanks for your nice comments about the Mc...Vincent:<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your nice comments about the McMinnville AVA, but not all vineyards are on volcanic soils. Our vineyard, Coeur de Terre, is mostly sedimetary soils which transition to volcanic mix at the upper elevations. We still have the color and structure you mention in the other vineyards, which I believe is typical of the AVA. Would love you to check out our wines.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Scott Neal<BR/>Coeur de Terre VineyardScott Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07612100054820143824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10545804.post-41680536854722837632008-08-12T09:14:00.000-07:002008-08-12T09:14:00.000-07:00Hi Vincent,Thank you for the kind words.

It may be that the mapping technology seems daunting, however, The Map Store has fantastic customer support and in many cases has dialed into the participant's computer and drawn the property outline with them. <BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>Hannelore<BR/>Oregon Wine BoardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10545804.post-58936230001299600752008-08-09T20:55:00.000-07:002008-08-09T20:55:00.000-07:00The links didn't seem to work in the previous post...The links didn't seem to work in the previous post, so here they are:<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://enobytes.org/wine_blog/2008/02/04/wine-regions-of-the-world-oregon-willamette-valley/" REL="nofollow">Willamette Valley Google Map</A><BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://installearth.org/information/index.php/google-earth-uses/find-great-vineyards-with-google-earth" REL="nofollow">Kudos</A><BR/><BR/>Pamela @ enobytesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10545804.post-36056025116596839032008-08-09T20:48:00.000-07:002008-08-09T20:48:00.000-07:00Hi Vincent,We've also built a wine map of the Will...Hi Vincent,<BR/><BR/>We've also built a wine map of the Willamette Valley region which is geared towards consumers looking to map out their itinerary to the Willamette Valley. <BR/><BR/>Our map lists all the wineries in the Willamette AVA including Chehalem Mountains, Dundee Hills, Eola-Amity Hills, McMinnville, Ribbon Ridge and the Yamhill-Carlton District. What's more, our interactive maps allow users to turn on various layers of mapping information such as roads, turn-by-turn directions, shopping and services, geographic features, 3D buildings, sightseeing, gas, food and lodging, real-time traffic and weather reports among others.<BR/><BR/>This is a free service we offer and if a winery does not see their listing on our map, we encourage them to contact us. We'd be more than happy to work with them to add their winery to our database free of charge. <BR/><BR/>Here is our link to the Willamette Valley Google Map: http://enobytes.org/wine_blog/2008/02/04/wine-regions-of-the-world-oregon-willamette-valley/<BR/><BR/>Kudos: http://installearth.org/information/index.php/google-earth-uses/find-great-vineyards-with-google-earth <BR/><BR/>Pamela @ EnobytesAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
