Greetings from Poland, NY

[Moai]

Hello from Central New York state.
We planted 28 Marquette vines in 2013, and 10 Frontenac this Spring.
Made our first 30 bottles of Marquette wine in Fall of 2013, using grapes we got from a nearby commercial vineyard. Hopefully, we'll be able to start harvesting our own grapes in a couple years.
I've gotten a lot of info from this forum over the past couple of years, so I figured it was time to join the community and possibly contribute a bit.

Welcome aboard!

You have your own vineyard, that's cool.

Welcome to the forum Moai. How did the Marquette turn out for you?

Welcome to WMT, Moai!

It's a bit too early to tell. Just bottled in April. Tasted some "sourness" at that time, which I'm hoping was just tannins. 6 to 12 months will (hopefully) break those down and things will smooth out. Very much a rookie here. Still soaking up as much info as I can steal.

That ain't stealing, it's creative liberation. Welcome, and I'm jealous. I don't have vines, I have cardboard boxes filled with sweet juice. I'm hopeful that my skill will measure up to my hopes.

Best, Fran.
