Hello from Lancaster, Pa

Im planning on starting to grow and make my own wine. Seems like a good place to get some answers.

Hello sly

Welcome!!

I am located in Cochranville.

Welcome! Do you have anything growing already( vines,fruit trees, bush berries) or are you getting ready to plant something this spring?

Welcome Sly, is the Family Stone going to join in later?

I bought my house about a year ago and have been tryin to figure out a good use for the upper part of my property (approx 1/3 of an acre with great soil slight slope and great southern exposure.) it is on top of a hill about 30 feet uphill from my house. We have quite a few raspberry & black berries (they need some serious attention though) My wife and i enjoy wine so after visting a few wineries we've decided it would be something fun to try. i have room to do approx 20 rows with 6 vines per row. but to start out i want to try just 6 rows. I think that i would like to plant: Traminette, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir, Melot, Cab Sauvingnon, & Cab. Franc.

Plus we have room for a couple of fruit trees also.

Not quite sure what you mean by the "family stone"?

Sly:

Wade (and I) are obviously either somewhat older than you, or more 'in tune' with musical groups. Here's a link, if you care.
