Default Pruned too late???

I live in Wisconsin, and the weather is just now warming up. So
earlier this week, I pruned my concord grapevine (which has never
really been pruned, and it's in its third year).

Now, 3 days later, I go to check on it, and where I pruned the lowest
(a spot about 2 feet from the ground), there's quite a bit of water
(?) coming out of the spot. Did I kill my grapevine??? Do I need to
somehow stop it?

Thanks for any and all help!

Jeff

Perfectly normal. Every thing is OK.

That's a good sign. The "ideal" pruning occurs as soon before bud break
as possible - which means that he pruning cuts will weep.

Don't worry about it.
