ENON, Ohio (WDTN) – While many of us have been sweating this summer grapevines are enjoying the blazing sun.\u00a0 The lack of rain and high heat means sweet sweet success for the local wine growers.<\/p>\n
The sprits are a little higher at Brandeberry Winery in Enon.\u00a0 All of the great grapes means a little less work in the field.<\/p>\n
Jim Brandeberry, says\u00a0 “I’m not doing a lot to them now.\u00a0 Tucking them back into the trellis and sometimes pruning them but they’re not growing so much.\u00a0 Some years they’re hanging down and you can hardly see the grapes if I didn’t get in and prune it.”<\/p>\n
Brandeberry is a retired dean from the College of Engineering at Wright State University.\u00a0 He turned his hobby into a business a few years ago.<\/p>\n
