I have 100 vines planted last year that I would like to fertilize this year. Any suggestions about what I should use and how much? Thanks!

With no information, any recommendation would just be a guess. Without a soil test and some results you could start with a bit of background. What is the basic soil type? Rough pH, How much organic matter in the soil? How vigorous did they grow last year? Are the leaves nice and green and lush or small and yellowing? How much rainfall do you get?

If the vines are growing well and show no yellowing, they may not need any fertilizer. Marquette is pretty vigorous and you don't want to over fertilize.
 
Once again I agree with grapeman, it makes no sense to fertilize unless you know what your lacking. Too much vigor is a bad thing. Get a soil test and if you must or feel the need to feed then use compost tea as your feeding the soil which will feed the plants.
