Oak Circle Vineyards
Well I finally received my order from Double A Vineyards and got my vines in the ground this weekend. And so begins my little back yard vineyard.
So I put the following vines in the ground:
6 - Viognier
2 - Barbera
2 - Tempranillo
Based on how the different vines do here in the desert, I will eventually be adding more. I've attached an image of the vines soaking prior to being planted.

Good for you Mike. Best of luck with your vineyard and we expect big things in about 3 years! Keep us informed and let us know what you are making in the meantime.

Ha! Just as you posted I added a photo of the vines soaking in a bucket prior to me planting them.

Snapped a photo of my 7 year old Red Flame vine that I have trained up the side of my patio.

Make sure to not let the vines grow on the house itself. You'll be in for nothing but problems in the long run. Ive seen plenty of damage from that.

Yep. I have it trained on wires and keep it cut back from the house.
Thanks,

Well all of my 10 newly planted vines have started growing!
Both of my Barbera vines are already putting out flower clusters as seen on one below. I've since pinched them off:
