Hi, folks.
I hail from the northern portion of Arkansas and have been creating various wines from native grapes and wild raspberries for many moons.
Several years ago we suffered a terrible ice-storm, which served to demolish most of the woods on my 200 or so acres. Although we bemoaned the loss of quite a bit of forested land, we were amazed to find that muscadine, sand-grape and wild raspberries have literally overrun most of the deadfalls created as a result of this storm. My plans are to take cuttings of some of the hardier, higher-producing vines and start an actual vineyard comprised of some of the local strains of sand-grape and muscadine.
I currently have a small amount of black raspberry wine in the works, and I estimate that I'll be able to produce around twenty to thirty gallons of wild blackberry in the next few weeks.
As far as this year's crop of grapes... waiting is the hardest part.
Anywho, look forward to chatting and sharing with you folks.
