conclusion
This internship has been really fun. I feel like I have a much better feel for the grape growing agricultural business now. Growing up near a big city, I was never really exposed to this sort of life style, so it has all been a nice big learning experience for me. I now have a much better appreciation for all the work that it takes to make just one bottle of wine. Extremely fun stuff.
Cliff is an incredibly smart person; he knows so much about so much. Knowledge just seems to stream off of him, and I did my best to soak it up (Iron sieve Cliff. Iron sieve). I am very grateful to him for taking me on as his spring intern. When my parents and grandmother come down for graduation, I’m going to have them come visit CZ and taste some of Cliff’s wine. We also have some Cairn o’ Mohr wine that Pete shipped to us from Scotland that’s made out of oak leaves that we’re going to try (bit sceptical, but you never know…). I’m excited for Cliff, and I can’t wait for him to get his license so he can sell his fantastically good wine and I can come back and steal some :) Best of luck CZ!!!!!

Kelsey is the FIRST intern at CZ and will always be!! THANKS A LOT for all your help. Best of luck in all your travels - we'll await your return to claim your wine!
Great work, Kelsey! I do hope we can come up with a solution to the Japanese Beetle plague. I am using milky spore, picking them off by hand and drowning them in soapy water, and spraying them with Sevin and Malathion. It sure would be good to find a natural enemy of the Japanese Beetle that does not in turn become another plague. Chickens and Guineas eat them, but I don't think my neighbors would like it.
