ModelD has an interesting creative reuse story about the planting of a 300 vine vineyard on the Eastside by the always-surprising Dennis Kefallinos development team. Bellevue Vineyards, as it is called, is a back-to-roots activity for the Greek-immigrant boot-strapper become Detroit land baron who grew up amid vineyards.
So what shall the labels be? Nain Rouge Rouge? Eastside Red?Kefallinos immigrated to America from Greece in the 1960s. He started off a dishwasher and worked his way into becoming one of the entrepreneurs behind the development in Greektown in the 1980s. The Bellevue Vineyard is a way for him to return to his ancestral roots.
"This is not foreign to him at all," [Eric] Novack [Senior project manager of Boydell Development] says. "He did this for a few years at farms before he came to the U.S."
