Soil variability can be one of the major challenges facing wine grape growers.  When vineyards are installed, vines are often planted at standard spacing, a single rootstock is chosen, and a uniform irrigation system is installed that treats the plot of land as a uniform soil profile.  However, does this blanket approach to planting address the soil variability found across a plot of land?  Duff Bevill of Bevill Vineyard Management has been working with this very issue over the past 13 years.  At the Endeavor Vineyard in Dry Creek Valle
