Congrats to Richard and Kathleen who were able to get the country after an emphasis on the political coloring…

So far I’ve learned that North Carolina has red soil and that I’d be interested in checking out a vineyard shot from there.

But so far nobody is even close on this one! Good deduction on the northern hemisphere but so far the right country has not come up yet.

RED is a hint since it has to do with more than the just the soil…

I’ll guess Georgia or perhaps even west Texas.

Those things make me thing 3rd world. Also who the heck would till the soil that much in the middle of winter? I’ll have to say somewhere in the southeast US?

Something tells me “no,” as the Northern hemisphere growing season is roughly 7 months long (March thru September), so the Southern growing season is probably similar, overlapping a bit in September and March. So that limits us to half the world; not Australia, South Africa, or South America.

Now, noting the lack of snow on the ground, we can eliminate the northernmost parts of the Northern hemisphere’s growing region; we’re likely not in Champagne, Washington state, New York, or even as far south as Virginia. The water tower is shaped kind of like the ones I’ve seen in Georgia and North Carolina, so I kind of wonder if we’re there. What’s someplace a wine enthusiast would visit in those states? All I can think of is the Biltmore estate, in North Carolina.

So there’s my guess.

As a hint, check out the date stamp for the season, the RED earth, and the dreadful tower…
