Looks real good - our vines are only now starting bud break

Welcome MTJoeT - I live up in the Flathead

that would be a shame - good luck

I like my Marquette

sounds like a great deal

keep it up - quite interested to see how things progress. thanks for sharing

I sure wouldn't use old dried out corks - not worth it

K-meta like Johnd suggests is always good idea. I just did mine into glass of vodka and put in bottle with Italian corker - works great

Amen to that. I generally see a five to six day ferment when I keep temps at around 80 degrees with reds. It will go considerable longer with whites where temps are kept around 70. Good luck

First off what are your vines? second, it's a good idea to cage young vines and fence your vineyard to keep all the critters from the salad bar. Our vines here in Montana are now just shy of bursting - maybe by next week if we can get the temps up to the 70's

I agree with the "wait longer" recommendations. we're in zone 5b here and our vines buds are now just starting to swell - probably be another week or so before bud break. Good luck

no reason to do this

Sure wouldn't prune any more. Be patient vines should bud out before middle of May. Generally need daytime temps into 70's and overnight in 50's

If caster beans works - you're a life saver. Are these just regular ole caster beans or something unique?

Looks darned good to me. Buds on our vine here in Montana haven't even started to swell although the sap is running.

I'd look to buy an Equipment Kit which will come with everything you need to get a batch of wine going. It's pretty fail safe and is a good way to learn what it's all about. After gaining a little experience you can then venture into more challenging pursuits - i.e. fresh grapes or other fruit...

Not really sure. I looked into it Baco as a possibility but opted instead on adding Leon Millot and Marechal Foch to my other hybrids this year. I'm in Zone 5b. I received a lot of good recommendations for both varietals from many different sources that they make good wines either by...

Vinifera will have a hard time growing in anything less than AG Zone 6

perfectly normal

Yikes!
