I’m going on 11 years with my wire vices. The only ones I lost were in the first year. We’ll when I get back in the vineyard. As for the catch wires, I have mine spread out more like 4-6”. Unless you have really disciplined vines, it may be hard to get them between 2”.

You’re not alone. If I know the bottles or equipment is going to sit long enough to dry, I’ll just leave the One step on it. If I’m cleaning and I’m bottling within a short while (say 30 mins), I’ll rinse with water too.

Been using one step for many years. Started to use oxy clean for the tougher cleaning situations but always finish with a one step rinse.

It can be done. Just what I needed to see. Thx guys!! Still waiting for the back ordered motor.

These are not the best pictures but you can see how much is pruned. My fruiting wire (bottom wire is 39” off the ground so you can see how much snow we had. The pruned picture is my 1st pruning. I go back and cut each vine back to 2 or 3 buds when there is no threat of frost. I’ll get better...

Learn about the mildews and bugs and how to combat them. Price a small backpack sprayer. The spacing between vines is pretty good so your vines will get plenty of breeze to dry them out after the morning dew. Learn about pruning. First thing to remember is that you can prune the heck out of...

Thanks. I’ll be crushing/destemming about 2000lbs+ this year. Selling grapes to a local d*i*st*ll*ery but he does not have a means to crush/destem and press. My 80L bladder press will be working overtime this fall. 😁

I’ve seen where people have motorized their crusher/destemmer but never have seen a Bill of materials for the conversion. I made the leap and ordered a motor. There are mounting brackets on my manual c/d so I think I’ll just have to fab a plate but need to know if people who have done this used...

I just saw this post. My Lacrescents do not grow very well at all. Japanese Beetles must love them because they get skeletonized very quickly. I should just tear them out but every once in a while, I get a good crop. These vines were mixed in with my Brianna grape vines and I didn’t catch it...

We are picking friends up flying into Nashville and spending our week between Chattanooga and Knoxville.

We are visiting your state to do the whiskey tour the 3rd week of April. Driving down from Wisconsin. Can you wait that long?

Selling All in One wine pump. Used only a couple times. All pieces and attachments are there. $100. Will discuss delivery charge. Located in Wisconsin.

Rocky, We had some similar jobs. I started working in a nursery hoeing acres of rows of trees and shrubs, (where I got the experience for my vineyard 😎) learned how to landscape, worked in grocery stores stocking shelves, mopping the whole thing and checkout, then when old enough, worked at a...

Will retire in 2 years. House will be paid off. That is the only debt. Doing double payments to make this work. 38 years of stress will be enough. Been all over the world and enjoyed it all. 1600 vine vineyard will keep me occupado until I can’t get on the tractor anymore. Will always wear a...

We are meeting friends at Lookout Mt, Tn around the 20th of April. One friend is coming from GA so I may be able to coordinate a pickup. I’ll try to get info this weekend.

Do you still have the equipment?

Up here in Wisconsin, I’ll prune my 3 acre vineyard 2 times each spring. The first pruning, I take it down to 5 or 6 buds. This takes a full days work with help and gets the canes out of the way. I do this at the end of March. I have a gas hedger and cut between the fruiting and second wires...
