and the best one in the country has to offer but if those weren't good enough reasons on their own to come here there's also a little mystery that i want to get to the bottom of. i've heard. that there was a man named brown would come to russia's black sea coast to grow grapes and. he might not have been my ancestor the namesake in the region seen in the past picked excuse for a visit. one bottle of the family wine if there was another one i was going to find it and if i had to have a few of the local vintages along the way that was a sacrifice i was willing to make. this is a venerable institution in russia's wine industry the miss haka has been running almost continuously for nearly one hundred and fifty years and culture. is in

charge of making sure it's still one of the country's top. nice to me. but can you tell us all about you know well this is one of the first places in the region and in russia as a whole to the crimea of course when the first video it was set up. the miss halcombe video it's a joint almost mediterranean climate protected by mountains close to the sea and with the flow in from the step to keep the temperature balanced it's been a recipe for great great for over one hundred fifty years and some of the workers have seen quite a few vintages come and go. how long have you worked here what about. the future i've been working here since one thousand nine hundred eighty five when i first came to the vineyard. and i still work here.

i really like this job so i've never worked in any other place i began after finishing seventh grade i got married here too. this is definitely a job that inspires loyalty. isn't the only person who returns for the harvest year after year but there's always room for new workers. the way the human with this one ok so you have to pay attention to the following small branches like this one we don't need the small ones just the big ones don't touch the little ones otherwise the one will be poor quality. does it grasp it with your hand and cut it off like that but the great because job doesn't end when his bucket is full. james i'd like to draw your attention to the fact that the task of great gathering involves not just gathering but you also have to put the grapes into this container

very carefully and sort through them see there's a leaf there ok they have to be taken in. each of these crates weighs between two hundred fifty and three hundred kilos so getting them to the factory takes some good team work. grapes. time to load up the factory. the way. i. write.

this is a lot more than just rows of dusty bottles it's actually the best stuff in the winery the ground that's been sitting here for at least a year to develop its flavor much of which it gets from these these wonderful huge heavy oak barrels. which give all the different notes and flavors to the wine and parrot me if you pressure it here long enough yet to hear the occasional. we may twig grapes were ripening you kiss was sweet like red wine. knew the mood

to be. eaten. last forever. most wine companies in the crescent all reason might be trying to up production but there are some that still think that small is beautiful i want to meet the king of russia so cool garridge wines and i've heard that this is some pretty high level. you know your pattern is the man behind me gordon yeah he used to be an important exporter of wine and he's visited vineyards all over the world but seeing other people cultivate their own brands wasn't enough he wanted his own. two thousand and five we bought a cross of learned and in two thousand and six planted the first grade which

brought their first harvest in two thousand and nine. in two thousand and ten we took second place at the new zealand one competition from the industry developed rapidly the wine was in high demand among our guests and we doubled the size of the harvest. fourteen as an area we mostly grow companies and serve in your blog a little malone a little. bit early company containers other free take another three and be done with. the most coming and we'll start processing ok in carriage wine quality is everything and he has to micromanage the process everything is handmade from beginning to end strictly this is a home brew but can anyone actually do it well if you've got the right fruit anything's possible. and these plastic bins where my beautiful grapes end up.

this is where the fermentation process takes place as you can see it's all completely low tech but the grapes sit here several weeks and we do really come along and give them a good stir four or five times a day. so once the grapes become it's a sign that they're ready to be pressed so now the worst happens we can get the first crest of the one going in here. probably it's best not to wear white when doing this to be honest. is completely. traditional method. so all beautiful to use here.

is through this hose and into. you. get to in time this. great big steel container and it sits here for about three weeks and it's ready for the next stage of the push. and the right barrel is all important in the wine making process because if you have good quality oak it lets the wind green and imparts all sorts of interesting notes so. new batch is going to sit in here. months. and hopefully it will turn out to be rather delicious. fermentation of the red one which we've already processed and mix is about to finish it's been fermenting for a whole two weeks now. and then we're going to fill these barrels with the very

first batch. to alter the ones been sitting in its barrel for several months comes the great season is it ready to be bottles and this is all down to the one make his personal choice and i see. that's pretty good. you know we don't filter our wine if we bottle it directly from the barrels. or the bottle break no we're not going to put your foot here to keep it in place. yeah that's right james brown been to twenty thirteen it's going to be invaluable in

a few years that. who knows maybe this been to will be another international award winner to add to his collection. but one thing's for sure there's no brown family both lin his cell and i was going to have to keep looking. there's a medium leave us so we leave that maybe. by the same potion security for your party there's a goal. for shoes that no one is that skin with the guests that you deserve answers from it's all politics only on our team. it was a. very hard to take out a plan to get people on here

a plan that that would that make their livings. a little. bit. of a. the

deal is been struck well they believe some kind of deal there can be no doubt this first step agreement between iran and the great powers is of historic significance it could become the foundation for far reaching geopolitical ships in the region but have no illusions the naysayers are intent on scuttling the deal and the use of force we're told we may see on the table. my first interest here when they came. for my first question. what are you doing the. russian wine has been enjoying a resurgence in recent years thanks in no small part to european technology but it's not only machines that are being imported from the continent. born in the

heart of france's wine country has a lifetime of experience in the business after projects all round the world he's made his way east to russia although he's found a winery with a familiar name. he's in charge of the ground for stock brown which boasts its grapes of the equal of any in bordeaux and felipe is gearing up for his first harvest. for follies a. little dream because my. side was born in kenya crying. and when i was young people or. every time i hear. and after a long. and united states i disabled i disabled work in ratio and.

i proposition four and in one week. this job. it's just simple story. but heavy rain and strong winds are causing significant problems. with the harvest already behind show jewel sean philip has to make sure the process runs smoothly the weather hasn't been kind and he needs to check the quality of the grapes that are coming in and exactly how long it's going to take the longer the fruit stays on the vine the riper it becomes which can significantly affect the taste judging the moment of perfect rightness is one of the most crucial decisions in wine making.

good the. people. tell us please what are you going to finish if it doesn't start raining. into our. report on and then let's call it a day. you've never heard of the brown family one really in this region have you know what. a legs a stick. i have a get on that. one but you. will receive the grades if you see it. this is my last why

did. you go to this country ok i'll just go. to break so why do you need to distinguish so. much to be. good if i can decide as a human. being we just. feel like to. be depressed. when suppressed the food we start to receive and we take the juice we still believe and we still can seduce hindu junction. but what i will get for us to dementation i. was. happy. to chas and friends and we. know and some poor disarms the film until it's. not real finished but

if you fall to test this is my first stone so be you'll feel ok. you want to just be just a little bit true or a. yes just. so this is it. this is all to help how much time. flows a moment to eighteen to eighteen days and i think finish next week afterwards when the twin. the twenty two days. with the. cubicle so if this is

a base why are we so why i don't. it's a planned. and cross we'll stop no. we are. going to blend blend a typical bottle blend of mellow and but we have to buy you to christmas so we meet is value to you because you were what did you feel for you and. bland at the russian space. fete like the horizon his superior to us from each other i don't know if i'll ever see the can. i have is this last bottle we made it sound. i will keep it until you return. i decided i've been thinking too mulder in my attempts to find my bottles twin so we're going to take a trip back in time this is supposed to be home to one of the largest collections

of soviet wine in the reason. maybe i'll have a bit of better luck. it seems the wine was popular if expensive throughout the soviet union by the one nine hundred seventy s. this factory alone was producing more than two million bottles see here. this isn't just the oldest wine cellar in the region it's also one of the largest each one of these tunnels is the length of almost three football fields and if you were so inclined you could drink a liter of wine a day for each of these barrels and it would take seven it's finished. this one contains eighty two thousand bottles of about two hundred fifty six of the best sorts of wines from all wine making regions of the former soviet union and

here we have wines from georgia and russia namely from dawn and this stuff are called region. but could i find a brown family bottle tucked away in this collection. even in all these thousands i still wasn't having any success. my personal quest wasn't going all that well but i was getting a crash course in the history of wine in this region greek settlers brought the technology to the black sea coast more than two thousand years ago and one of their descendants is still following the tradition to this day. it is a little business buzz tell us about your technology please.

difficult business. is fine. that's how we would crush bunches of grapes until recently it hasn't been long since electric powered wine press has appeared. after of the revolution of one nine hundred seventeen people became obsessed with globalization and production growth. and drinking culture fell victim to the changes. controlling the harvest rate is important we do it as well you have to set limits to the output volume if you're expanding it more and more it's easy to lose control then you'll have to use preservation agents and conservatives to put it simply it's murder they kill wine we take specially selected grapes no rotten months but we don't throw away grapes of lower quality we use them to make paths of wine and you.

well might not have found the second bottle but there have been plenty of unexpected benefits from a trip to the greek stress or even the odd excuse me of. one making is a very personal business everyone has different aims different tastes and a different clientele they're trying to reach choosing the correct moments of bottle can be the difference between success and failure and that often comes down to one man's opinion getting it right it seems is never

a perfect science so we've been asking the. question again. one thing. do you think the secrets. of why. some regions that's my secret so good by. the more important for make good to. make good grades for me a good way to make a real good to. see that's the secret and after all if you have a real good gripes. in the city you can make so good why but if you don't have discrimination it's impossible. better than you have to care for your video to video grapes should be wholesome it would really. luckily the climate here is favorable you should control the

fermentation process. clean the cellar and then store in search of bottles probably with just my secret with you sure the bed is nothing special about it you know it was. you know that i do good the surname brown in this region i'm looking for a second bottle. in use but i can't answer your question well if you search hard enough you never know what you might find. if you let it. it seems who never meet again in this life wine has never tasted the same to me since our bortle still sits in lace cellar. perhaps one day it will find its way home. but one could.

the government has made g.c. h. kid to spy on people the government isn't in league with the n.s.a. in america again or other highly treasonous act to spy on people because they say they want to stop the bad guys and yet here are the warrants down aborts men who had their property stolen used an exploding financial device concocted by r.b.s. in the bowels of their terrorist organization so isn't that duplicitous by the

government stacy. when the crisis leaves us traces everywhere. shrooms become the norm. children pay for the mistakes of adults. by working in a tobacco field or in a cafe. they are the ones who come back home last. so his games are just in their memories. you know this one thing that i still can't understand it and i don't want to good mood but i have this one question. you had everything they respect and so that you give them all up. to go your way but what for.

it was a wait and for him he tried to restrain himself but look first out anyway. it really puts me off that i have such a father. it was one small but very great secret that i have to live with for the world. this is the place that has been consecrated to god for almost a thousand of years people came here twenty some years ago to reestablish and last a quiet on the silence. and people feel the love of

christ for all working. people say you can. come when something happens on this island that makes them return to it again and again they say the below saves them. join me james brown on a journey for the soul. only see. dramas that trying to be ignored. stories for the rest refused to notice. faces change the world writes never. the old picture of today's thieves log on to and from roads to blow. up to. fifty. i'm.
