Did you ever see Gm318? I find it hard to believe anything is more vertical than it. Meunier is a sport of PN so it would be about the same habit. Keith SRV ...
I'm very new to the wine/grape growing industry. So new, my comments should probably be ignored, but I fill the need to speak. My absolute favorite wine is...
Does anyone grow Rkatsiteli, or Pinot Meunier. I am wondering about the best training methods? Do they like to grow up or down and is it best to cane or spur...
... From: grapesrus@yahoogroups.com [mailto:grapesrus@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Gale George ... Meunier is a vinifera that adapts well to a GDC. It was my...
I have a mildew disease on a few of my vines. The symptom is the back of the leaf has this uniform white webbing on it, not very dense so the leaf underside...
David, where are you located? I grow a short row of Meunier as an experiment and I cane prune using a double guyot and usually thin to 1 cluster per shoot and...
I have several varieties that are showing the grape phyloxera on the leaves. My question: when is the proper time to spray for this pest? Immediately, or wait...
if you see galls on the leaves, you've missed you opportunity to spray the adults. Sevin will kill the winged adults if you get 'em at the right time. Danitol...
Mark: Cab Franc makes wonder wine as well as Cab Sauv. in the midwest. The CF is a little more cold hardy. We have a blue ribbon on a cab franc here in KC...
G: I guess then Norton has a "label" problem then. Not sure how it is going to overcome this from a marketing standpoint. Maybe as more vinifera is grown in...
I have used bothe danitol and Thiodan in the past and both will pretty much eliminate the galling provided the spray in s on the leaves befor the galling...
We have both of these varieties in the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. Both are spur-pruned. Rkatsiteli makes an interesting wine. It was grown for ...
Thiodan or tiovel (endosulfan) is used but it will burn some varieties badly(especially Chancellor and any offspring). You might stop any more spread of them ...
I had a customer come in and said he had recently been to MO and went to about 8-10 wineries and couldn't find a decent red wine. He said he liked all of mine ...
Some varieties always carry a few galls, but they're not dangerous until a major percentage of leaf area is disrupted. I can't remember the research precisely,...
In terms of research on damage thresholds for grape phylloxera, I do remember some work out of one of the eastern Lakes states (MI, OH) about 20 years ago. It...
Like George says, unless every leaf is covered with galls, it's not areal problem. varieties like Baco gets the the leaf infestation but not on the roots. Some...
I concur, Cabernet Franc is the hardiest and Lemberger is next of the Vinifera varieties. Only Riesling is hardier than these two. Chardonnay given the right ...

Hi All, I'm curious if anyone has tried planting Traminette and Gewurztraminer at the same location. My experience trying to grow Traminette was pretty much...
Aaron, I grow them both here in WI, but give them both winter protection and have only a couple vines of each. My assessment. In my location Traminette is...
I am in western Kentucky, and have both varieties in my vineyard. Gewurz is much less hardy, and it is more susceptible to chemical injury, and more sensitive...
I am growing Traminette in southwest Virginia. I am in a mild climate, but we still get winters below zero. I have not noticed any winter damage at -11F and...
I'm in Central Ohio just SE of Columbus. I only get about 3 crops in ten years on Gewurztraminer. I crop nearly every year on Traminette. Traminette also has a...
Nebbiolo isn't hardy at all. I took mine out it is less hardy and less productive than Gewurztraminer. I have an Italian friend who has tried all the Italian ...
