Hello

[Chefdan]

I just joined yesterday. I am a long time wine maker now I'm into growing the grapes. I am in south jersey zone 7b. I was going to order cab sav cab franc and petite Verdot. But things happened my friend had ordered 50 barbera vines grades to 101-14 root stock. He couldn't handle them this season so now I have 50 barbera vines. Any advice on this variety would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Dan

Dan, I am afraid I cannot help you on your question, but just wanted to say "Welcome to WMT."

I hope others with growing experience can help you out on your question.

Welcome.

Just curious of the vines grafted, good for hardiness or the soil type?

You are warmer than my area...

there are two rootstocks that seem to be very popular in my area. Most of the info I found about this rootstock is from ucd http://iv.ucdavis.edu/Viticultural_Information/?uid=173&ds=351
