As far as I'm concerned when you came to North Carolina things became a whole lot brighter for the wine industry here. You brought your passion, knowledge and a willingness to share what you had learned through the years and our state is better for that. You have taught me everything I know about winemaking. I consider it an honor to call you friend and mentor.
