Gambling with grapes in Nevada

"Fermenting on the farm" from Lahontan Valley News and Fallon Eagle Standard is talking about the efforts of one vineyard owner in trying to see if the wines produced from his grapes naturally will result in good wine.
With the aid of a retired vineyard owner from northern California, the grapes will go through a "textbook" wine making process. There will be virtually no tweaking of sugars and acids, so the unadulterated taste of Fallon-area grapes can be evaluated in the form of grape juice-plus.
