Thx! how did you straighten it? When I’m on my iPad they look fine, but turn when I post on here. 🙄

Drove up to Copper Harbor, MI Saturday and golfed at the historic Keweenaw Mountain Lodge. The fall colors were beautiful (sorry picture is sideways!) and enjoyed the beautiful scenery on Lake Superior!

Dry rub ribs on the grill and Foile a Deux Pinot Noir. Scrumptious!

What’s Novia Temprana? I’ve never heard of that grape.

it‘s right off of I-39. Marshfield Clinic Stevens Point Center Looks like there is primary care as well as some specialties. I’ve seen the building from the interstate a few times.

Yes! I worked at Marshfield Clinic (and Security Health Plan, their health plan) for 23 years. i miss the good quality care and having all the experts under one system. Waupaca is a great area though with the lakes! Stevens Point is pretty close To you and has a good sized Marshfield Clinic...

Thanks for the info! Where are you from in Northern WI? I lived in Marshfield for many years.

I agree, I’ve tried some that are a little sour, but I’ve never ran into this earthy, off-putting odor and taste. I’m going to assume it was an issue with the winemaker, because I’ve tasted others that were fine! I’ve also heard about a “flash” bath of high heat that’s suppose to improve...

I just had some Marquette wine from a commercial winery and I was disappointed in how “foxy” “earthy”, I’m not sure of the best descriptors to use, that the smell and taste were. I also have 25 vines that I’m going to start getting grapes off of next year and I’d be interested in any advice on...

If you’re wondering about Itasca winemaking, I found this article and I thought it helpful. Itasca is so new, I’m not sure there’s much info about wines yet. MN Study on Itasca Wine

Fresh Lake trout from Lake Superior, fettuccini with garlic, butter, pepper & Parmesan and fresh tomatoes from the garden with fresh basil & olive oil. French bottle of chilled white wine. Perfect!

We were in Traverse City last year for the Winemaking Conference. I was impressed with the vineyards and the area. Beautiful place!

My husband says this is me!

Thanks for the help on pic size! Here are a few more pics!

i tried to upload some pics, but they said they were too large. I have 35 vines planted last year, 25 Marquette & 10 Frontenac. This year I planted 25 Petite Pearl and 10 Itasca. They’re all doing good, although I’ve had deer pressure on my new vines because I’m waiting for fencing to be put up...

I’m in Chassell which is a little way out of Houghton, home of Michigan Tech. We are at the base of the Keweenaw Peninsula, so we get about 200” of snow a year. I’m hoping the snow will keep my grapes insulated all winter!

Thx! I was excited to find this forum!

Growing hybrid grapes in the UP and looking to learn, learn, learn!
