Hello Tom. I am pretty sure that Mastronardi Vineyard (near Colasanti's) is
the one with the big wind machines.

Hi,

(Margie help me out with the name of the winery mentined below. thanks)

If you want to see some real winter protection head down to the wineries
located near Harrow on the north shore of lake Erie.

They actually have propane heaters with fans that mix the cold air with
heated air during the winter to protect grape vines. It was orginally
intended for spring frost protection.

The fellow who first used spring frost protection all winter, did it by
mistake (it is rumored). But it was a happy accident. His crop improved
so much the first year it paid for his investment in heaters and fans in
the vineyard. I am told they are all jumping on the bandwagon.
