After some success growing Syrah, I opted to get a few more vines... in fact I'm tripling it's size! I've once again ordered my vines from mypersonalvineyard.com along with their protectives sleeves now that the season is HOT but will go dormant for month to come.

This time around, I've order 2 more Syrah vines, 2 vines of Grenache and 2 vines of Mouvedre. I'm hoping to make a "GSM" field blend in the years to come where I will take sugar and acid reading across them all and pick everything at once depending where the numbers are at in relation to the other varietals. A "field blend" if you will...

I will continue to take picture once the vines arrive along with pics of my quickly growing Syrah vines. The more I read about vineyards, grape selection, soil types etc... the more I realize how HUGE this industry really becomes.

And I love every second of it.
