How much attention do your neighbors pay to which varietals they are growing? I'm wondering if when they have a vine die, do they replace it with whatever is convenient? I can see where the focus would be on having a vine instead of none, and also "this varietal is a big producer" and/or "this one makes fragrant wine", etc.While in the USA we tend to think by varietal, a lot of the world does things differently. I like seeing what other folks are doing -- it helps me avoid narrowing my thinking to believe there's only one way to do things.In reviewing my own practices, I tend to make whites as varietals and in recent years, blend the reds, and am leaning towards blending some (5%?) Vidal (white) into Chambourcin (red).
