Justin Taylor is back at work in western North Carolina after a harrowing couple of days and a long few weeks at the winery and at home.
Justin Taylor of Parker-Binns Vineyard in North Carolina breaks down one of the wines he served at the eighth East Coast Winemakers Summit at Boordy Vineyards in late June.For a vast majority of winemakers, the stories they are telling this time of the year are related to how the harvest went and the quality of the vintage.
“It is hard to describe because we were insulated from the outside world without cell service and data during the 10 days after the storm,” he told PennLive last week in an email. “I wasn’t able to get into the winery until 7 days after, and it was just to press and run back to figuring out our house. We are stable now with a rental house through the insurance company and back in the cellar pulling things into place.
I believe the biggest challenge in vintages to come will be showcasing grapes and wines that might not hold a position of worldwide fame yet they exhibit characteristics in the vineyard and winery that deserve a new approach. My example is the work that I have done with French American hybrids like Chambourcin and Vidal Blanc that I think are just barely scratching the surface in terms of market presence, but in the East we can make fantastic examples of these wines.
Q, I’m sure the timing couldn’t have been worse, right after harvest? Take me through the amount of grapes you picked and sort of where the 2024 vintage is at?
