  1. That’s clever viniculture in an unusual environment.

    Best wishes, Pete.

  2. oh my goodness, how extraordinary

  3. That DOES look hostile!

  4. They do the same on Pico in the Azores. Looks amazing.

  5. I knew where that was immediately – John came back with similar pictures from his cycling trip there. i could not believe they were vineyards.

  6. That’s unusual, but I often wonder why crops etc are grown in unsuitable climates.

  7. This is most unusual and very impressive. Having lived in the Rhine Valley for many years where it’s green and lush I never thought this would work. The Ahr Valley also has volcano soil which is good for the wine.
