Hi Bob. I just came across your post, many years after the fact. 😟 I'm not often on the site... I have a mystery grape in my small vineyard (just south of Cadillac) that was tagged "Seedless Concord" when I bought it, but it's neither seedless or Concord, having no foxiness whatsoever. Could it...

2022 is my second year of making wine, and I'm thinking I would like to try small oak barrel aging for my meager 3 gallons of dry red, a blend of Verona, Petite Pearl, and Marquette. I've read that smaller barrels really speed up the process because of the greater contact of the wine to the oak...

I hope to make some peach wine this year!

Thank you! This is going to be quite an adventure!

Thanks! I definitely hope to have a nice crop this year so I can try my hand at it!

We are just a few miles south of Cadillac, so nope, not yoopers. 😂 We have a nice little homestead with an 18-vine fledgling vineyard and a small, multi-fruit orchard. We did make a small batch of dry red last Fall, but had to buy some grapes to add to our meager harvest. Hopefully we will have...

Hi everyone. I have lots to learn, and I'm glad I found this forum. Please be patient with me, because I will have a boatload of questions! I'm in northern Michigan and only have 18 vines so far: Marquette, Petite Pearl, Verona, La Crescent, Itasca, and one Concord for juice...all young vines...
