Most that choose a life dedicated to perennials have an interest in enduring contribution but few can boast as long lived an impact as artists turned vigneronnes Deirdre Heekin and Caleb Barber.  In a few short years these gastro geek gardeners have fundamentally realigned the expectations for cold climate varieties and the chilly regions where they can thrive.  That's super cool on its own right and much as been written on that score but the secret, most impactful virtue of La Garagista is its undercover, Hogwarts-like role in mentoring the next generation of New England winegrowers.  A culture, tone and expectation of excellence has been established and nourished by a single audacious venture.  Badass.
