I'm still here but was about ready to drop the group. All I got was SPAM and absolutely no grape info. I live in East Texas and have planted grapes to...
Hi! What variety of grapes are they? What are you using right now to support them or are they on the ground? Will you be building a wood arbor? I saw some...

Rory, I think a lot of it has to do with the soil....especially after having spoken with the famous Dr. Loosen in Germany who makes probably the best Rieslings...
I think so, as well.... we've all got sun. Temperature can play a part, but I think that soil and winemaking skills are important. Of course, there's as much...

Rory, I have 100 tempranillo vines on 1103P that were planted this spring. It's too early to tell how they will do. I'm expecting good things from them...
