    Thanks for the location of a test lab, Skate! I’m about 50 mins from Chico! Thanks also for the sample test report. I’ll definitely take some soil and leaves in for testing.

    My Vines’ leaves are turning red/brown! Help!

    How can I determine which mineral deficiencies I have, or is there a “general” additive I can buy to apply?

    My Vines’ leaves are turning red/brown! Help!

    I’ve been making wine from kits for a few years, and going to try my own grapes this year for the first time. My vines’ leaves are turning red/brown. What is happening?! Help!

    Best Vineyard Trellis System for Hot Climate?

    I'm planting a small vineyard (35 vines) in Nor Cal and the summer temps get up to 110 degf. I'm thinking about using a California Sprawl, but hoping someone here has some advice. Cheers! And Thanks! Mike

    Dead vines came back to life, but....

    So, I bought a handful of vines 2 yrs ago and didn't water them over the winter so they died. This year they came back to life, BUT the new growth is from below the graft. Are they still good (merlot, pinot noir, and frontenac), or are they "something else"? No fruit obviously, but about 2ft. of...

    Making 6 gallons of Chardonnay in a 6 gal fermenter. Should I have more room than this?!

    HELP! I added too much watwr to my wine kit!

    Yeah... that's what I meant... I was trying to ask how much concentrate to add because of the extra gallon of water. I ended up adding 3.6 cans of concentrate, which is how much it takes to make 1 gallon of grape juice. But I didn't add anymore water. Haha. Thx for the tip on marking my new 6...

    HELP! I added too much watwr to my wine kit!

    HELP! I added too much watwr to my wine kit!

    I'm making a 6 gallon kit (2 gals juice/4 gals water) and mistakenly added 5 gallons of water! After 9 days of fermentation, it's at .996 Sg, but doesn't taste right. Any ideas how to fix it? Thx!
