    Is there a forum for making wine from grapes you grow?

    Just wondering. We went to a seminar and got boatloads of info including instructions for making wine from your OWN vineyard. We have the vineyard. Grapes are 5 years old. Refuse to buy grapes. We grow them. Is there a forum for grape growers? Whole different ballgame.

    At What Point do you Turn the Water back On and Fertilize?

    Our vines are dormant at the moment. Just wondering, since this is my first year, do you fertilize at bud break? Do you turn the drip system on partially or full at bud break? Thanks! Suzi

    Almond Wine

    In my search for a recipe for the "illusive" secret recipe for Pecan Wine, I found this on the web last night. I have one of those big bags of Pecans in the freezer from Costco left from Christmas cookies, so I think I'll substitute pecans for almonds, oranges for lemons, and brown sugar for...
