Hi Mike,

I wondered how you did this year with the dreadful NJ weather. My
original nine vines are now twenty, with Vignoles ending their 2nd
growth season and the rest (Leon Millot & Cab Franc) just ending their
1st.

As for "real" wines, I agree with all the folks that believe all their
wines are real! I sourced Syrah, Grenache, and Viognier from Central
Valley fruit and those are my from-scratch grape wines this year. In
addition, there's cyser from local apple cider, marionberry from
Trader Joe's frozen, and red tomato from the farm down the street
(yes, in New Jersey!).

Cheers -
Roger
