landscape and capture the delicate nuance and character of the fruit. Processing

characteristics of the Appalachian Mountains, Dr. Wolfe provides guidance and
encouragement to local farmers planting vineyards with the new French-American
and American varieties of grapes. The Mast Farm Inn has prepared a picnic basket
