Bury me deep in my vineyard

We went from being weekend hobby block veggie growers to 'serious grapegrowers' because of Wally Boehm.

Wally was an inspiring man in every way - he taught us as much about how to live as how to grow good vines.

In his memory, his favourite quote, which is now more or less our own:

"Bury me deep in my vineyard,
My wish is to nourish the plant which kept me in rapture while living.
Long may it garnish my sod."

We are the custodians of Wally's vineyard. He was buried in the more traditional way but we have symbolically, ceremoniously buried Wally deep in his vineyard and our Riesling (his favourite grape and the vines he planted) is always in honour of Wally.
