Charles,

I'm also in N Alabama. I've got a few vines here in Huntsville. Where
are you located? There will be a session on growing grapes in AL on
Sept 14th at the Birmingham Botanical Garden. Stan Roark at the
extension service in Wedowee has more info. That number is
256-357-2841. Drop me an email if you have a chance.
