Hi everyone,
I have been working full time at my uncles vineyard since spring. Hands down the most chill and rewarding job I have had the pleasure of doing so far. I'm pretty good in the botany realm but am pretty new to wine making which is why I have arrived here. Any way.. I'm hoping to pick all of your brains and share some of the fun of wine making and grape growing.

The Vineyard is about 2 miles from the lake. Between Ludington and Muskegon. I live in Whitehall which is just south of there. So far It's been a great year for grape growing in this climate zone. Dry and hot :D
 
Sounds like you are enjoying working with the grapes. Stay with it!
