I am in Central Iowa, Des Moines and I did get about 4 groups flowering.
The vine was very neglected and needed a serious haircut.

I am anticipating that next year will be the flowering year as this year
looks like the plant is producing vines for that purpose. I will give it
some thought on which get the trim and which are going to do its thing.

appreciate the help.

You should be pruning your vines every winter while dormant, usually a few
weeks before expected bud break. Use that opportunity to train them in
accordance with whatever trellis / canopy systems you intend. Once they are
growing vigorously, it is common to 'hedge' them, to try and keep plant
growth in balance with grape production.
I'd recommend you join a grape growers association, or get hold of a few
good books. Vines are easy to grow - growing them for quality wine grapes is
a lot harder.

Whereabouts are you? In most parts, you should already have seen your vines
flower, and should by now have early stage grape clusters.

I decided last spring it was time to prune the poor producing vines. and I
did a real thorough job. However, now it is late June and the new vines
are
taking over the area. Is it alright to prune the ends of a few of the
vines and they are really going like they were on steroids. I guess the
pruning tripped the growing. I would guess next year, all things going
right I should have ample grapes.
