Thanks Mike – will do. I need to get update on Acre Wines. I’m on the road for most of the rest of the month – Ill try to reach out later in October or early November when I’m back in town. Cheers! ~ Dave

We’d love to meet you as well! Feel free to drop us a line at the winery and come to the Feast tasting lounge. We look forward to seeing you! – Mike & Talley

I’m interested in working with you on a project in Temecula, CA. Please contact me so we can further discuss.

Thank you!

Kindest regards,

Entewan Morris

Dave – Ill do that next time I’m in the neighborhood. I look forward to see your other Yountville acre. I’ll be gone all of May – doing some Bordeaux wine related activities and visiting a few other countries.

Hi Dave

It is very nice to hear from you. Thanks for stopping by and sorry I missed you. Give me a call or text next time you are coming this way, it would be great to see you. Vines are all pushing out now. Would love to show you the Yountville vineyard too.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Lance

Thank you for your message, and glad to hear you enjoyed the videos. I hope to have some more soon. It is a good idea to check to see how deep the soil is before a layer of either hard / clay pan.
There are quite a number of root stock options that you might consider, Some rootstocks have a relatively shallow root profile while others will go very deep. You might consider contacting either Sunridge Nurseries ( they are down your way ) of Nova Vines. I suggested these to another fellow who had a question. Both nurseries could give you an idea of how deep certain rootstocks go, then based on that you could decide how deep to do your test bores.

Thanks again for reaching out,

Dave

Hello Amad

It is very nice to hear from you, and glad to hear you enjoyed the videos. I wanted to share what I had learned and what others had shared with me. The distance between the vines and the vine rows can vary. Very often the distance between the rows can depend of what type of tractor or equipment you are going to use the cultivate between the vines. The distance between the vines can vary with the typw of trellising. I happened to use 4′ between the vines but 5 or even 6 feet can be used, depending on the vigor you expect. If you are going to go with a cordon system 1/2 the difference would be the length of each vines cordon.

As far as some of the varietals that would work for you, you might google or email two different nurseries, Sunridge Nurseries and Nova Vines.

Thasnk again for watching my videos and for your message.

Hi Phil

It is very nice to hear from you, thanks very much for reaching out. A lyre system sounds like it should work well, that configuration should provide a good fruit load for you. When you get the vines in, send a picture or two of your vineyard it would be nice to see.

And thanks very much for your kind words about the videos, just wanted to share what I thought might help others who wanted to try the same.

Thanks

Dave

Hi Joey

It is so very nice to hear from you, and sorry for the delay. It is great to hear about your desire of making wine from your own grapes, I am sure you will enjoy it very much. It sounds like you are in a good region for grape growing, and you timing is good as it does take a little time to get the vineyard planted and underway.

I am happy to hear you enjoyed the videos, they were fun to make and I just wanted to share some of the things that helped me. My friend Adam who does the filming has been pretty busy as of late, but we are still hoping to get a DVD done as soon as we can. And I will keep you on the list.

As you get underway with your vineyard, send me some picture as you progress along, it would be nice to see.
