Hello everyone. I joined the forum a few years back but it wasn't functioning for me then so I gave up. Wade E let me know it was working now so I came over to check it out. I must say, it is functioning well now.
I have been making wine for a number of years and four years ago decided to expand my grape growing endeavors. We have a fairly cold climate here, but normally nice sunny warm summers. Typical winter temps are about-15 degrees F. I began with a few hundred vines, but this addictive passion has turned into a couple thousand vines, if I don't count the other thousand or so in the nursery. In spite of the horrid weather we have had this last year, I am looking at harvesting several tons of grapes this fall. It can be a challenge growing cold hardy grapes, but that's part of the fun. I look forward to sharing this insane hobby with all!
