I'm still here but was about ready to drop the group. All I got was SPAM and absolutely no grape info. I live in East Texas and have planted grapes to...

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...
