I'm reading some places that Cellar Craft Sterling red kits all have a grape pack, is this true? Some sites that sell the Sterling line don't mention the grape pack at all and some do.

Vitis vinifera are self fertile I believe.

Are there any pre emergent products to keep weeds down that are safe for vineyards?

Phytophthora ramorum or 'sudden oak death syndrome', does it affect vitis vinifera grapes? I know it affects other plants like rhododendron but can't find anything related to grapes. Thanks, Cody

I need to buy 750 grow tubes and I haven't been able to find them for under $3 each. Is this the average price? I'm doing my vineyard in sections so I could reuse the tubes the next season provided of course they're not made of papermache. Although I have seen some that are papermache and of...

To the top. Bump

Well this particular plant did spend 7 days in a box being shipped 700 miles. I imagine the temp inside was over 100 for a least some of that. It could just be stressed out right now.

Oh you think that's disease? What do you think it is? I got them from a certified nursery and have a phyto report from the state of California & Oregon. I think it was water that burnt the leaf in a hot day.

That's dirt on the leaves. And no that's not pierces disease.

Have you ever seen such a thing?

Yes it's the long sort of 'drip' but it's on the inside of the carboy coming from the oak floating at the top.

So I have an Amarone bulk aging that I just added additional oak to. A few days after I added the oak I saw this (picture) have you seen oak do this before? I tested the SO2 immediately with a Vinmetrica SC300, it was 56 ppm. Just to be on the safe side I added another 1/8 teaspoon k meta and...

Anybody that can help?

Anybody at all?

I haven't been able to find ANY Nebbiolo or Muller Thurgau vines; well what I should say is I haven't found any place that will ship to me. I live in Oregon and most places like Double A (NY) won't/can't ship to WA, OR, CA. Does anyone know how I could get some of these vines? I...

So I ordered some Chardonnay #95, on Riparia rootstock, I also ordered Chardonnay #548 on 101-14. The #95 is supposed to be much higher vigor than the #548, with the probability of over cropping, so to counteract that I ordered it on Riparia rootstock which I've read reduces vigor. I only...

I can confirm the CURRENT CC Showcase Amarone uses a very thick (wet) grape pack, not dried skins as I have previously seen with their Cab Sauv kit.

I got serious when I bought a $3000 Primera label printer.

If I filter using a .25 micron filter do I still need to use sorbate when sweetening a wine? I don't think sorbate is cleared for use in commercial wines. How do commercial wineries sweeten wine?
