Hi,
It's your humble prodigal moderator and I've returned to clean up
the group and hopefully get it started up again for good and make it
the largest state grape growing group as it should be.

I've deleted many of the spam emails that were here.

Many of the spammers have been booted out. It would have been
funner to hang 'em from the nearest tree but you know how it goes...

All new messages from every member will be posted until they post
their first message regarding grape growing...or until they can at
least spell "grape"....

PLEASE take a moment to let us know at the group that you are still
alive and kickin' by posting a short note about your grape growing
this year.

I'd love to hear from each and every grower or winemaker here.

Well, on the same thought, I'd like to hear about someone's adventures growing Tempranillo here in Texas. I bet that would be a stellar grape for the area, if...

Rory, I have 100 tempranillo vines on 1103P that were planted this spring. It's too early to tell how they will do. I'm expecting good things from them...

Rory, I think a lot of it has to do with the soil....especially after having spoken with the famous Dr. Loosen in Germany who makes probably the best Rieslings...

I think so, as well.... we've all got sun. Temperature can play a part, but I think that soil and winemaking skills are important. Of course, there's as much...
