I'm just going off what I was told. The 80 year old couple next door says they were all concords when they planted them in the 60s. I'm assuming they were grafted to something else and they didn't prune them properly allowing the root species to take over. I really have no idea. Its just an...

Hey John, Wow, thanks for the insight into a problem I didn't realize existed. In my wine-crafting virginity I was just hoping it would age out. Its about three months along now and it is off the yeast and racked very clear. I will get right on the copper sulfate cure you mentioned right after...
