2024 was a good year for us, too, after a very rainy late Spring/early Summer. I co-fermented a blend of 40% Verona, 30% Marquette, and 30% Petite Pearl which I plan to press tomorrow. After my secondary ferment I will rack again and then let it bulk age and clarify in glass carboys until next...

For the past couple of years I have used Avante yeast for my red wines, Marquette, Petite Pearl, and Verona. The results have been very good!

I'm very late to this thread, but for what it's worth I grow Marquette, Petite Pearl, and Verona in Michigan and have had very good results. I blend the three varieties and have been producing a rather nice red blend. Best wishes!

Hi Bob. I just came across your post, many years after the fact. 😟 I'm not often on the site... I have a mystery grape in my small vineyard (just south of Cadillac) that was tagged "Seedless Concord" when I bought it, but it's neither seedless or Concord, having no foxiness whatsoever. Could it...

I enjoy music, and have played guitar since I was 12, a very long time ago. I also really enjoy photography, reading, and writing. I used to backpack when I was younger, but that ship has sailed... 🙄

I have been wanting to trial ES 10-18-30 here in Michigan mini-vineyard, but I haven't been able to find a seller. Any suggestions?

We've got puppies!

Thank you so much for all of the different options. Greatly appreciated!

😂😂😂 Thanks!

Thanks very much. I will do that today!

Hi everyone. We have a small homestead in northern Michigan with 12 vines about 5 years old. This is the first year we've harvested enough to make a small batch of red wine, about equal parts Marquette, Petite Pearl, and Verona. After the primary fermentation we pressed the wine from the must...

Thanks!

Oh, definitely!! 😂

I have one young Concord vine, and if I get some grapes from it this year I will give the Concord/Cranberry a try. That sounds really good!

I hope to make some peach wine this year!

Thank you! This is going to be quite an adventure!

Thanks! I definitely hope to have a nice crop this year so I can try my hand at it!
