For those inquiring minds.

That looks awesome there! Nice job.

[Tom]

Looks real nice!
I have not tasted this grape. Can you tell me what it tastes like?

[smurfe]

Excellent vines there. Looks great. How many gallons you getting after the birds are done with them?

Tom, it's hard to describe a Muscadine flavor. It's tastes just like a grape but different. Different strains will have different flavor as well. I really wish I could describe it in words. You here thee term "Foxy" but I have no idea what Fox tastes like. It just has a "musky" flavor to me that is more prevalent in the wine than the raw grape.

I picked 47 gallons in 2008 but a hurricane had a big impact on production. A normal years production would be 70-80 gallons.
Good answer on describing the taste, unless you've eaten a grape it's a little difficult to put your finger on it.

Really nice vineyard you have going there Sacalait!

[St Allie]

Wow.. that makes me want to put a row of grapes in the paddock myself.

Are they a lot of work?

More labor intense than grapes since they must be picked individually but on the other hand, they're not as prone to diseases as are grapes.

do you have any scuppernongs ?

I'm on the hunt to find a couple of muscadine vines for my garden.

Allie, I have 8 varieties but none are scuppernog specific by name however I'd guess some were likely derived from the scuppernog. Most of the vines came from Ison's nursery.
I recently acquired a variety that is a cross between a bunch grape and muscadine (southern home) and I'm looking forward to it producing next year.
