The Willamette Valley in Oregon is full of all sorts of new wineries and farms that simply grow wine grapes. Some of them look really orderly, just waiting for the next group of wine aficionados (or merely tourists) to come by and look at the farm and the winery. In other cases, you have a haphazard grape farm. This is clearly the latter — something you won’t see in the glossy brochures. I think the dandelions just give the ploy some character. Or not.
