Mountain Vineyard
"Some of my clients' most prized vineyards are those that are the most extreme in their aspect. Mountain vineyards with their steep slopes offer so much more to the photographer's eye than flat, endless rows of vines on a valley floor. The regularity of the rows of vines make the changing slopes underneath that much more visible." -- Michael Regnier
