Les propriétaires d’un vignoble de Nouvelle-Angleterre du Sud sont suivi comte de prévision d’ouragan.

L’enjeu est leur chance de faire le Pinot Noir comme un rouge cette année.Ils craignent que la tempête se frappera, détruisant leurs cultures et leurs chances de vin rouge.

Les derniers vignerons de temps à Westport rivières Vineyard and Winery eu l’occasion de produire du vin rouge, il a été de 1991–l’année Bob ouragan a frappé et ruiné leur récolte.

Ils ont la chance une fois de plus cette année, et une fois de plus un ouragan se dirige à leur façon.

Et ne pas être berner par de plaidoyer peu cute Bill Russell pour Storm Team 10 météorologue, R.J. Heim.

«Où est R.J. ? Je dois vous R.J. ici, maintenant, “dit Russell.

Ses préoccupations sur le chemin d’accès du comte de prévision d’ouragan sont assez graves.

«Allons-nous avoir Earl rester les vents d’est et mi/h 20 et peu de pluie ? Ou il suivra plus proche avec 50 à 60 mi/h vent et la pluie de plus en plus de cela ?Russell a déclaré.

Russell a un vignoble à protéger, et la possibilité de produire du vin rouge est sur la ligne. Sa dernière chance était il y a plus de 15 ans.

Bob ouragan vint le long et fait tout à fait un mess des choses.”Nous avons perdu tout à fait un peu de culture à le pourrissent, a déclaré Russell.

Jusqu’ici, les raisins sont mûres. Ils sont environ deux semaines plus long en maturité, et la saison a surtout été sec et chaud. En d’autres termes, les conditions idéales pour une année de vin rouge.

«Nous allons faire.Il s’agit de l’année.C’est comme regarder les Red Sox.Vous suivez toute saison.Pour nous, vous cherchez à chaque rainstorm, chaque plan, “dit Russell.

Russell dit qu’il craint le vent plus que la pluie parce que le vent fort de secteur entraîne les raisins bang contre une Treille et se déchirer les raisins séparés.

«Une fois un raisin est rompu ouvert, il révèle à des insectes et des organismes de l’embranchement ou des bactéries,» a déclaré Russell.

Tout Russell peut faire est de suivre la tempête et espérer le meilleur.

«Meilleur scénario, il suit à l’est, la faible vent et la pluie.Ce serait merveilleux.Donc, si les gars pourraient organiser qui d’une certaine manière.Vous avez tout ins?»Russell a déclaré.

Si l’ouragan frappé et vin rouge ne peut être produite au vignoble de cette année, Russell a déclaré qu’il se concentrera sur blanc et vins mousseux.

Il a dit des peaux de raisins blancs sont plus sévères et plus souple dans mauvaises conditions météorologiques.
