Just a word of caution, if you live anywhere in the USA, you need to
graft the PN Clone 115 onto some resistant root stock. Just getting some
cuttings and planting/rooting will result in a plant that will die
within a few years.

Yup, the Peoples Republic of Oregon is still in the U.S..
Thanks for the heads up.

I think it's pretty prevalent (depending on soil type) and it can be so
devastating to the vineyard that, personally, I don't think it's worth
the risk. You can pick up grafted grape vines fairly inexpensively.
Spending the time for the care and feeding of non-grafted vines for a
couple of years just to have them die just when they start to produce
fruit would be pretty discouraging to me.
