I didn't plant it; the man who built this place from scratch did and he's gone, so I don't know what kind of grapes they are. I'm not even sure how to go about finding out. But I will. It would be nice to know. Last year they were larger and had more time to fully ripen. This year they were late and a bit smaller, but I just bought this place last summer (2010) so I'm still learning about it.<br /><br />Who are you? :)Teresa Evangelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05495114564099989481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1613729047769383491.post-8207155224968643112011-10-01T21:49:37.853-05:002011-10-01T21:49:37.853-05:00Whatever it takes to further the grape vine produc...Whatever it takes to further the grape vine production and the harvest - Count me in.

A lovely day with family and dogs and "wine to be". <br />I have looked and looked at that skull. I love mysteries. If you don't know what it is then it doesn't help that I think it looks like a horse's skull. You would know if it is a horse. Is it possible to find dinosaurs in the earth? I thought they were in other places. A bear hasn't got such a long skull. I'll have to give up, but I shall wonder about this mysterious forever! It isn't a wolf either!! A lone wolf!
