Barboursville Farm, also in Orange County, in 1976 to head the vineyard operation there of Italy’s largest private wine company, Zonin. Zonin’s Virginia venture is being funded through a British finance company, Western American.
A visitor to Island View said she’d heard much about wine grapes. Did farm manager William T. “Bill” Miller want to say anything about dairy cows? Miller responds with another question, “Didn’t a cow come over on the Mayflower?”
(Cattle were recorded in 1611 at Jamestown, the English settlement founded by foreign investors, the Virginia Company of London. Cattle were recorded in 1624 at Plymouth, Mass., four years after the Mayflower brought the Pilgrims.) Miller, 38, summarizes the dairying operation at Island View rather than offering the patient step-by-step detail that Hollerith uses to take the mystery out of growing European grapes.
