Emilio,
Your primary problem is going to be getting the fruit to ripen. For at least
the first five years limit them to no more than one fruit cluster per shoot,
two shoots every fist width on the cordon arms, and remove everything else.
If you have good sun exposure you might be able to up the production on warm
years after the vine is fully mature, 7+ years.

Since it's a home operation you should do ok with just planting vineyard
cuttings. Get them now while they are pruning, wrap them in burlap and store
them in a cool, slightly damp environment. Make 18" cuttings from pruned
canes, 45 degree angle at the top and leave 2 buds, shave off the lower buds
otherwise you will have suckers galore for many years to come. You are
susceptible to frost where you are, especially if on flat ground or low
area, so plant no sooner than the third or fourth week of April. Otherwise I
would recommend contacting one of the local vineyard nurseries NOW to hold
any dormant benchgrafts they may have left over. Your selection for this
years plantings will be very limited.

Good Luck
Frank
