Time to buy the Vines and start Planting

So, now that the ground was tilled up I started deciding what Vines to plant.

After a lot of researching I decided to go with 3 varieties that had been tested by the University of Minnesota.

Frontenac, a Red Wine grape - The wines produced from Frontenac typically present aromas of cherry and other red fruits.

Frontenac gris, the white wine version of Frontenac, wines present aromas of peach and apricot with hints of enticing citrus and tropical fruit

Marquette another Red wine - wines are complex, with attractive ruby color, pronounced tannins, and desirable notes of cherry, berry, black pepper, and spice on both nose and palate.

I found a place called Bermann's in Stillwater, Minnesota that had the vines. I now had my 12 vines and it was time to start planting! June 15th, 2009 and the Vines are ready to grow!!

Next up, need to build a Vineyard Trellis system to support the vines and in a few years the grapes that will grow on those vines.
