It's true but fictional.

Well, many centuries ago when the Chinese fleets were exploring the world, their note indicated that Greenland was green and the was no sea ice north of the island. In other words, the globe was much warmer. It was then that Finland could have been much warmer and able to cultivate grapes. Unfortunately there are no records that might have disclosed Finland's prize winning wines. All we are left with is the hero Urho.

St. Patrick's Day 1957 my wife and I were married. 61 years and counting days, too risky to count years, just one day at the time. I have had a great ride in life. Very blessed!
