Put in a vineyard

Post by subbrew »

Well working on not having to pay the government taxes for any of my drinking fun. I previously had some Frontenac grapes at my former house. Decided I needed to put in some grapes here. Been here 4 years so it is about time. Needed ones that will work with a Northern Colorado climate. So today I put in 4 each of Frontenac, Crimson Pearl, Itasca and Brianna.

If anyone has any hints or help on making good wine with those varieties please let me know.

I have worked with Frontenac and it has a lot of acid to deal with. Never did made anything good from just Frontenac but it does add structure to a blend. Crimson Pearl is supposed to be low acid so hoping they will balance each other. Guess if it doesn't work out I now have the knowledge and gear to make a brandy.
