The Vineyard Challenge

[Rebel Rose]

Here's The Vineyard Challenge, an online game created by The McCarty Company.

Post your experiences and scores here.

I am an average grape grower, with a "decent" zin vineyard, a "respected" chardonnay vineyard, and two newish plots. But that was my first try!!!

[Bombdog]

Hmm, I didn't get a rating on my vineyards...but it said I am "a respected grape grower"

Wonder how I am as a wine maker?

[mrbigjas]

i ended up being a successful wine merchant, with decent semillon and zinfandel vineyards, and 85 gold pieces.

of course considering that that's 29 years later and i started with 80...

hm, i just played again, and by being aggressive and blowing all my money in the beginning, combined with some luck i ended up a famous grape grower with two decent chardonnay vineyards, a decent semillon vineyard, respected cab and zin vineyards, and another starter cab vineyard. and 149 gold pieces. now that's more like it!

the verdict is: if you have a lot of money you can do anything.

Did you pop for the pest resistant clones?

I have 236 Gold Pieces.

A world famous semillon vineyard w/type B root stock

A famous semillon vineyard w/type B root stock

A decent zin vineyard w/type A root stock

A decent semillon vineyard w/type B root stock.

This gives me a ranking of master grape grower.

After 29 years, I retire happy and content.

I too retired a successful wine merchant, happy and content with semillon and zinfandel and 80 pieces of gold.

[Daddy-A]

The game said I should make beer.

A.

[fou de Bassan]

I played it safe and ended up a respected grape grower with 110 gold pieces.

I might give it another go.

[CtznCane]

I wound up a very successful grape grower with 125 gold pieces, a well known zin, a decent chardonnay, a decent semillon, and 2 cabernet vineyards

[Abra]

I ended up after 29 years as a master grape grower with 206 gold pieces, a well known chardonnay vineyard with type B root stock, a well known sémillon vineyard with type A root stock, a highly respected chardonnay vineyard with type B root stock, and 2 cabernet sauvignon vineyards with type B root stock.

I'm all-organic and tree-hugging, so I never did any spraying or irrigation, nor did I go for the premium rootstock. Oh, and I popped every time for the futurist's predictions.

Gee, it said that I am a wine merchant. Well, there goes my chance at retiring as a vintner..
