the storyis afive work some hot sex into it more love into it great piece well done tenbears43
Damn you. I wanted to cum and you made me cry. I hurt for Laura, and she isn't even real. I guess that this is the mark of a gifted writer. To be able to wring these responses of laughter and tears, emptiness and pride and all the others with just your dreams and words. Beautiful.
Great story, the only problem is UofM doesn't have an agriculture program. Go Green.
First time I have read this story and hadn't expected a letter ending - what a beautiful way, which brought tears to my eyes and made it difficult to finish. Well done life is not only erotica!
You had not been here in 12 years but your stories go on.
I gave probably read Laura's Vineyard a half dozen times and still give it 5 stars...it is more than an erotic tale. It is a story of someone's life when they fear that there is no life.I'm sure a lot of people like I were touched by this story.
And although you have not written in some time. I hope this finds you well and with as much life as Laura possessed in your story.
You write with skill and sensitivity. Congratulations on a moving story, well told.
. i had tears in my eyes reading this, i found it so touching i will have to read more of your novelets
This is wonderful. I am 60 and fairly hardened to many things. Your work touched me and left me knowing I have missed a lot in my life
This story touched my heart as nothing else here has, and truly brought tears to my eyes. A small masterpiece.
one of the finest piece of story.heart touching. it is not an erotic story at all.thnx mr. writer
One of the best if not the best stories on Literotica. I should know. I feel as if I lived every word
Ps If there are any Laura's out there. I am ready for the first dance
Yours hopefully Roger
I love to reread some of the better stories. This is a top rated one. Thank you for it and please write more so I can keep up with your family now
I can add nothing to the comments left by the person ahead of me except that I am a grumpy 70 year old retired sailor who found that he can still cry.

An excellent and well written story, the absolute best I have seen on Literotica.
And at 67 it brought a tear to my eye and a warm smile to my heart.
Thanks.
I am still crying. There really are no words to describe how wonderful this story is. I wish there were more than 5 stars, because I have given other stories 5 stars in the past and this one is so much better.
This is a beautiful story and the sex input fits neatly into place. I think this could be expanded into an excellent novel.
It is obvious you've spent some time in a vinyard & in the arms of a lucky loving woman. Terrific!
This has to be the best story on Lit that I've ever read. Thank you for sharing it with us.
this has to be one of the best works that I have ever read on this site.
yep,, same as the other commenters I to cried. Great Job ,,, very well told and grammatically sound. and not too much sex detail to ruin the character of Laura ,, Thanks for the story.
...because I'm sure they're all the same as mine. This is an unbelievably awesome story, and I cried for the last page and a half. Five stars doesn't do it anywhere near justice - it would be in the top three or four stories that I've read here.
What a beautiful story, and well told. You brought tears to my eyes.
I've read many stories on this site over the years. This one tops them all. Bravo.
This is, by far, one of the most touching stories I have read on here. I am not a man of emotion, but this story brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for the wonderful experience! More power to your pen!
Dammit! This is about the 10th time I've read this since I saw it on a top list last year & my eyes still get wet. I had read many a stroke story on Literotica, enjoyed them all for the most part; but they never really spoke to me in a way that said "hey, why don't you give this a try?" And then I read this story: almost 10K words, long well-crafted buildup painting the characters with words, a lone sex scene that doesn't start until the end of the 1st page. Nice plot turning metaphor of his getting the tractor fixed & working again, then an O. Henry twist & a bittersweet ending. Brilliant. [my 1st story went out to an editor this week]
Good to see a story thats isnt all sex...the romance, the feeling behind it was wonderful.
One of the most beautiful stories I have read! 10 stars in a maximum of 5!!!
I read this masterpiece long time ago and I loved it.
From time to time I remind it, but today I happened to find it and couldn't resist to read every word of this touching story again.
This is not pornography! This is a story of love and kindness, where sex occurs as naturally as life itself.
Thank you Ronde for sharing your creativity and talent with us.
...but I did this time. Lovely, lovely writing. Thank you.
The first time I read this, I got tears in my eyes. Now after reading it for the umpteen time it is STILL as beautiful as it was the first time & yes I STILL get tears in my eyes when I read it.
It is a beautifully written piece, I would like to see more
Reading my first Literotica story was a million smiles jackpot. Truly enjoyable!
Thanks.
Now you're making me want to find me a Laura right now....#awesome
Wonderful to read a proper story with plot development. I felt I knew Laura and Terry so when they got to the sexual scene I cared. There is a place for quick and dirty, but there will always be time for this too.
This is my favorite story on the site and I come back to it from time to time. It moves me to tears every single time. Congratulations. You've created a true masterpiece of love, my friend.
I have not read anything written with such passion and insight in a very long time. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading this and am now going looking for more of your work. Thank you for writing this, I have read it at a time in my life when I needed to read something like this.
I just let the tears roll as I read this beautiful story.
Likely one of the best stories I have read here. As with many readers, I came to this site to ecape and was instead moved to tears. Superb writing.
Thanks for another interesting and touching story. I love the way you develop the characters. It makes me feel like I know them.
It doesn't matter how many times that I have read this story, the one shining value that comes through is quality! This is a tender story where the love making(never could it be described as sex!) helps with the story telling, not dominate it.
And no matter how often it is read, Laura's final letter to Terry always brings a tear.
Truly a wonderful and touching piece of literature. Thank you!
This tale of a beautiful, sensual woman and a young man is so so wounderfully written it should be expanded to a novel. I do so hope to see more from this writer. I can only say thank you ever so much for this novella.
be brought to tears by a story in Literotica. Thank you for a wonderful journey.
A BEAUTIFUL STORY. WELL WORTH READING AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
One of the best stories on this whole site. It is so nice to be drawn into a story that incites interest without getting tawdry. The theme is magnificent - hence my title above. And a great ending. Encore please.

I come to this site to read fuck stories. Your story had only one short episode of sex, and that was related in very a very sedate manner. BUT. Yours was a romantic story in the extreme. You write so well. I could not find a single error. Seems to me that Scott Fitzgerald had success with a novel called "Tender is the Night." I think your story rises to that level of tenderness. What a masterfully written tale. Hope you will write more (and maybe sneak in just a tad more sex).
I'm a 75 year old guy who is pretty hard nosed about the world we live in. Your story made me cry. Thank you for a wonderful story wonderfully told.

how lucky i was to find this. thanks... so romantic and sensual and lovely...
stories I've read on Literotica. On one hand, it's a little sad, but on the other hand, it's uplifting and heart-warming. No wonder this story has maintained its popularity for more than ten years. Great story.
Excellent story andcould imagine it being true broughttears to my eyes. Keep up good work
I have read many stories on Literotica but this was really loving ,tender ,moving and touching.This story had an innocence,a beauty that had more to do with matters of the heart rather than the loins.I was was moved as you took me on this journey that I didn't want to end .Well done. Such a tender story.Wow.
I accidentally 'rediscovered" this story today.
it has lost none of it's appeal. If anything was even better since that first read way back .... Hope to see your work again.
When I found out Laura was 50 years old, I did not want to read more, but somehow I read the complete story, and now I am having tears in my eyes. I came to read a sex story,but ended up reading a great story.Thanks.
Love, once thought lost forever, is found again.
Add in the fact that a love for vineyards and fine wine is passed along to another generation, and you get this wonderful tale.
Best, most wonderfully told story I've read on this site. I was aroused in chapter 2, followed by tears in chapter 3. Very heartwarming story that you allowed to slowly unfold and come to a most appropriate conclusion.
A story well told. With sex in the backdrop instead of mainstage. Character interplay with plot development hand-in-hand. A pleasant break from the 'insert-tab-A-into-slot-C' mechanics that too many fall into.
Totally enjoyd this story. Even had a tear or two in my eyes. Plan to share it with my wife.
Ronde -
I fell asleep last night reading your story and woke to the desire of wanting to finish it before I got out of bed. The bonds you described are few and far between for many and through your words you brought them to life. Thank you for a beautiful story and the memories you rekindled. I have saved this story so I can read it again when I need to feel uplifted and reminded that we are beautiful at any age (46 in 5 days).
I will continue reading your stories and I am sure there will be days that I will live on the words you write.

Thank you for the wonderful story. Im a 70 year old papa and i have tears running dow my face after reading it. thank you again.
I have read hundreds of stories on this site but none match this one. This one I really enjoyed and brought tears to my eyes.
Dear Ronde,
This is one of the most beautiful stories I've head the pleasure of reading at literotica. I haven't yet looked for other stories of you at this site, but I sure would love to read many of these wonderfull written stories for sure.
With kind regards,
Ronald
Well done and strongly visual, I can see these characters and I was caughtby the simple elegance of the narative.
A superb story, with great feeling and delightfully written.
Absolutely beautiful story with an almost perfect ending. I'd love for them to have repeated the evening each year.
One of the BEST stories in all of Literotica. Bravo for keeping it true to the love they felt. Thank You very much.
I read it in one breath..fantastic writing and amazing attention to details. I agree that this would be a perfect screenplay for a Oscar winning movie. Bravo.
58 year old male and feeling like a 17 yr old girl, very well written and dragged me into every bit of feeling that I have had for my special woman - thankyou
I have not read a better story on any forum until I read this tale. You kept me captivated until the conclusion and I thank the Author for this beautiful story
Extremely pleasant reading. There is so much passion between Laura and Terry that goes unsaid. This would make a good movie.
I believe this would make a hell of a movie. While I hate her politics, Annette Benning would make a great Laura. Not sure about rest of cast. I know it would be a sucess. Every women would absolutely love this movie and men would like it I think as well.
An absolutely great story.

This is the best story I have ever read on this website, and I have read many! This story moved me to tears!
Every woman wants to feel beautiful, even those of us the world sees as homely. That one special person can see the beautiful girls we once were. That feeling is so important to every woman. Thank you for showing a mature woman in such a lovely light.
This just goes to show that we need to look past a person's exterior to see the true beauty within.
Beautiful, touching and sensual. A splendid piece of writing and insight. Look forward to your next piece.
Laura's Vineyard proves yet again that a good author doesn't require wall to wall sex
to write a good yarn. Thank-you for a first class story.
well this is a great story and i really enjoyed the read
keep up the good work
i have no hesitation to say that this the best story of love i had read here in this site.It is sooo haunting and i want to be terry for my laura.
