TOPOGRAPHY FEATURES Flat/ Rolling/ Hilly/ Mountainous, On~Atlantic~Ocean~(East)

  • TOPOGRAPHIC EVENTS-
    • Glaciation/ Episode- Glaciers Radically Altered the Topography of Atlantic North-West United States.

SOILSMetamorphic, Sedimentary

  • Limestone, Glacial Deposit-Moraine, Silt, Loam, Shale, Schist, Sandstone
  • North American Ice Sheet- Mass of Glaciers and Ice That Stretched Across Canada and the North-East United States.
    • Most of the Glacial Activity Took Place In the Pleistocene Epoch, Which is Relatively Resent.
    • Glacial Had Direct and Indirect Influences On Wine Regions Today.
    • The Ice Sheet and Glaciers Redefined Modern Topography as it Advanced Like Giant Bull Dozers as it Progressed.  As the Ice Sheet and Glaciers Regressed Massive Amounts of Melt Water, Some as Substantial as a River Leaving Different Soils and Debris. Often Times This Advance/ Regress Alternated and Repeated This Process Many Times.
  • Glacial Moraine- Glacially Formed Accumulation of Unconsolidated Debris That Was Transported and Deposited When the  Glaciers Regresses.
    • Unconsolidated Debris- Boulders, Clay, Cobble, Gravel, Pebble, Sand
  • Great Lakes- Carved by the Actions of the Laurentide Ice Sheet.

CLIMATEContinental With Maritime” Influence

  • CHALLENGES*Summer– Disease, Mold   |   *Winter– Low Temperature, Spring Freeze
  • Lake Effect- Refers to stabilizing Temperature Influences Created by Large Lakes. Weather Change is Triggered by a Lake That Causes Temperature Changes In a Wine Growing Areas. During Winter the Lake Effect Keeps Temperature Warmer and In Summer the Proximity to the Lake Keeps Temperatures Slightly Cooler. Mosts Vineyards Grown Within 25 Miles of Large Lake.

VITICULTURE– 


  • GEOGRAPHIC DISCLAIMER~ To Understand the Wine World and Follow DtheV.com an Comprehension of the Atlantic North-East United States Geography is Needed and the Ability to Visualize Its Topography.  Chapters Are Organized In a North to South / East to West Flow and Intended to Be Researched  as So.
