Welcome, I am originally from the Netherlands as well. Living in Arkansas now though. What part of The Netherlands are you from?

I have been in contact with F Colavita to get a shipment. That way I can offer all the different varieties they carry.

I am setting up a shipment to Northwest Arkansas this year. probably in Rogers Arkansas. I am keeping everyone updated on this Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1147031145448362 Definitely have enough room for more people.

Probably going to be too far for you, but I am organizing a shipment this fall from Colavita to Northwest Arkansas or Missouri if the order isn't large enough. I have created a facebook group to keep connected with everyone. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1147031145448362/

So far pretty good had a bit of fungus starting because of all the rain I had. But that seems to be under control now.

Yes regardless of having a small group or a large group off people that want grapes, I will be setting up a shipment. Only difference with a small group will be that the pickup will be at a winery that ordered from the same supplier, instead of in Northwest Arkansas. And as far as I am...

Do you add any acids to it? I made a batch last year, and it is definitely lacking acidity.

So a little update from me, I got the soil prepped for the spring. haven't put up any trellis yet, which I probably won't do till next fall. Ordered my vines decided to go with 4 Enchantment 4 Opportunity which I know both will work in my area, and as a test I also ordered 2 Cabernet Sauvignon...

Thank you will look into them next season!

I have been trying to find a source also, seems to be hard in the south. I am in northwest Arkansas myself.

So I looked at it the other day and I should be able to add 4 more vines. And your suggestion of trying some vinifera made me want to do it. It was actually the type I wanted to grow in the first place. But after reading how hard it is in some areas, I decided to pick something suitable for my...

That might be very interesting to see how they do here. Would they need a VSP trellis? Or can I just grow them on a high cordon wire? I will measure this afternoon if 4 more vines would fit with the 8 I ordered already.

So today I received my results from the soil test. I am no expert in reading it but it does seem to be a good soil for grapes. Anybody have any advice on possible adjustments to make?

yes pic #1 is east and pic #2 is north. I think the first site is the best to get most sun on them.

Right thanks for your reply, I definitely wasn't planning on cutting down the tree. But I will trim it a bit this winter. Also, the pictures were taken late afternoon around 5 pm. So the area in the first picture gets a lot of sun in the morning till early afternoon, about 6 to 8 hours a day...

Hi everybody, I just bought my first house this spring in Northwest Arkansas. And since starting making wine a year and a half ago I have been dreaming about growing some vines myself. I have been reading the book From Vines to Wines to get the basic knowledge of growing vines, but I know I...
