Manhattan vineyard and winery

Chateau Latif is the only winery in Manhattan that grows its own grapes. Latif Jiji planted his first vine in his East 92nd Street backyard in 1977. Forty years later, those vines now climb nearly 60 feet up the back of his home and another 45 feet along his roof deck. It's a lot of vine, but it is quite easy for this retired professor to keep it growing in an urban setting.
