Denver Urban Homesteading, in collaboration with Infinite Monkey Theorem Winery, announces a Community Wine Project.

The purpose of this project is to promote urban and backyard grapegrowing which will be made into wine at our neighbor's winery three blocks away.  The wine will then be labeled Denver Urban Homesteading and credit will be given to the backyard farmers who contributed to the making of the wine, and who will have first rights to purchase the wine.  So, if the Smith Family, the Garcia Family and Liu Wang all contributed grapes that made a barrel of Pinot Noir, the label will list their names or they will be referenced online.

Participants in the project will learn about growing, cultivating and harvesting wine grapes, and the fruits of their labors will be converted into wine that they can enjoy with their families and friends.  The project will bring people together and help create a new social activity centered around urban farming and wine.

We are trying to identify wine grapes now that are most suitable for the Denver area and the Front Range, so that project participants can order and plant them this year.  Since the grapes may take three years to harvest, the first batch of wine is expected to be produced in 2012.

Interested?  Contact James Bertini at james@denverurbanhomesteading.com to get involved and be notified of the first meeting to be held soon!
