What a great post–thank you for sharing. I took a class at the Home Orchard Society near Portland, Oregon, and I learned how to graft fruit trees, and it is quite a process. I successfully grafted 8 mini-dwarf apple and pear trees that I trained into an espaliered Belgian Fence! I’ve never grown wine grapes, but I also grow one tasty red seedless table grape–’Einset’, and it is growing from it’s own root and covering a wonderful pergola that my husband built. It is a project to prune it, especially as a novice at cane pruning, but I did okay with it this year, and it’s loaded with baby grape clusters. True grape growers like Miguel would likely laugh at my method, I am sure, but for a beginner like me, it did work and helped me learn how to prune from scratch.

WOW!!! I just got back to Virginia from Calistoga, St. Helena, Rutherford and Napa! And a drive through Santa Rosa to Bodega Bay and then down the coast (lunch in Olema!) to San Fran for our flight home. Sooooo, where do you live out there?? I could’ve stopped by! We stayed at the Solage in Calistoga and went to several vineyards and a chateau…and I drank more wine that I ever have and even sorta learned about wine….I’m not that into it but I do drink Pinot Gris and Prosecco. I was fascinated and had 8 million questions, some of which got answered…so I will definitely follow your wine posts with interest!
