Had some things come up earlier and couldn't order my vines and now double a vineyards is sold out does anyone know where I could buy these vines?

A bit of a drive lol,I just planted, just trying to get a jump on equipment

Northwest Ohio fostoria area

Is this still available?

You could try adding tannin, I've added golden raisins to wine in the past for added body. I've heard of adding banana to it as well, but I don't know if that will change the taste

Yes I made a baco noir I thought it was good but that was also my first all juice wine. But everyone who has sampled seemed to like it

At that price, if your using glass carboys I would recommend all in one pump

Double A has it on their site as well made a batch last fall. Definitely one I plan on planting

I haven't had a problem with Amazon yeast. If you don't have a local source Amazon is a good source

An update on the vines. I tied the vines up to bamboo 2 weeks ago and now almost all have hit the bottom wire with a couple actually reaching for the 3rd wire, that's 5 feet, when I tied up I found a small bunch of grapes I missed earlier and got them pinched off. I'll try to get some pics in...

Their doing great. All 32 vines took off and some are 3 feet tall. I'm gonna let the strongest 3 vines produce a bunch next year to taste the grapes that will come from my soil

Been awhile since I updated on this. I pulled this out and worked on it this past weekend. Wine turned out wonderful, great taste and versatile, I sweetened a gallon with Welches Concord concentrate, bottled a few dry and still have 3 gallons to decide what I want to do with. I would not...

With all the rain we have been getting some of my vines will reach the bottom wire even with leaving it bush out. My vines are grafted on 101-14 rootstock. I was just out yesterday actually pinching off forming grape clusters. Since I'm not in a hurry to get grapes at the expense of poor vine...

Thanks I thought I read that somewhere before but then I got looking at vsp training and it showed 1 fine the first year but letting it bush out make more sense

I planted in May and my vines are doing great, not one failed to leaf out. However some of them have 3-4 shoots coming off the head, should I trim them down to 1 this first year and let a second one grow in next year or keep two shoots? I have 32 resiling and plan on a vsp setup.
