I'll drink to that where we get behind the scenes of the beverage business.

I'm Levy Dalton.

I'm Erin Scala and here's our show today. Oh, Reishborg sits in the village of Vone Romine.

In total, Vone Romine.

In total, Vone Romine carries about 200 hectares of vineyards, 8.03 of which are Reisborg.

For centuries, Vone Romine was simply Vone in various spellings and permutations. Its famous

vineyard Romine was not appended on to the village's name until more recently in

1866. The word phone was formerly Vayona and a few

other permutations as well and this name traces back to a Gaelic word, either Wadaana, which means water, or Vidernos, which means forest.

And today, Vone Romine is certainly a forest, a forest of vines. But where does the name Romine come from? It came to be the name of a

vineyard when Caesar drafted Gauls from Vayona, now Vone, and later gifted them vineyards in return for their army service.

One of the gifted vineyards was named after Rome.

In more recent history, the area experienced about two centuries of hardships.

In 1814 and 1815, there was an Austrian occupation of Vone. About 50 years later in 1870 the Franco-Prussian War

wreaked some havoc and then of course Falaxera struck Burgundy and then two

world wars and a global recession.

Now before 1924, Reisborg was two separate vineyards, Le Resborg and Veruil-L-Risborg.

Joining the vineyards in 1924 was something that not everyone agreed with.

The two climates are different in several ways.

Larishborg has vines planted east-west,

so it gets sun all day long and usually ripens before Leverwal.

Leverwal has vines planted north-south, and the wines from here usually have a slightly different pH.
