I've been tempted to order some rootstock vines from Double A to do my own grafting from cuttings. I mostly want to do it just for the sake of doing it and possibly to sell some grafted vines locally.

Very cool. Bear Down! I appreciate the compliment on my yard but the photo doesn't really show my junkyard that's a remnant of my bachelor days that my wife is constantly "suggesting" I clear out.

Thanks for the tip. I hadn't heard that about the tendrils before.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll have to read through that article a little more thoroughly when I get a chance. I'm also wondering if I'm on the right track with watering. I have two 1 GPM drip emitters per vine spaced about a foot away on either side and I'm running them for 90 minutes...

I just picked up some of the Hoss Micro-Boost micronutrients. Is this an okay time to water those in?

Not much yet but off to a good start. Seven Syrah and three Grenache Noir just outside of Tucson, AZ.

I was a little concerned about that too. I'm working on making my whole backyard rattlesnake proof for my dog though which would also keep the rabbits out so I should be able to remove the wire pretty soon. In the meantime I'll just check frequently to make sure nothing is growing through the wire.

Well my micro vineyard is finally planted. Seven Syrah and three Grenache vines. And so it begins...

More baguettes. Turned out pretty good

Thanks. King Arthur flour has a good recipe and video to go along with it that helped me out.

After several attempts I finally got a batch of baguettes to turn out to my liking.

I read about a winemaker in France who accidentally crushed his own head in his wine press. I'd say that's a worse thing that could happen to a wine maker. Just sayin... 😬

Sounds like a plan. Thanks

Thanks. I appreciate the advice
