Hellooo…is there anybody thereee???


Time to blow off the cobwebs I think. It seems as though the wine blog has been neglected for some time but not forgotten, the chances of that is very slim with constant reminders from a far. Its been a little slow on the wine from for oneself not in the consumption but more in the motivation to write about my drinking habits. Therefore a re think into my little space here is needed. I will occasionally drop in a wine or two but the future is looking toward a have a go vineyard that Thud and I are going to plant over the water. Between the pair of us and friends and family who have obtained exceptional knowledge in Viticulture we plan to plant and grow wine grapes in the north west of England. As you can see my recent attempt to grow was less than successful but a school boy error and dreams of growing the great Cab will have to remain a dream. Our little plot will only be hobby size but enough to try and produce a few bottle of what we hope to be drinkable wine, Thuds past experience of producing cider have been successful and it seems as though they will be more this year with his new apple trees, enough to keep us ticking over as we start to prepare the land and start planting early next year. This will be a lengthy process and I’m sure we will run into one or two problems along the way, and for certain you will get to hear about it

A post...at last!

Is that vine totally dead?
If not, cut it back to two buds and re-pot it, checking the roots for anything suspicious...that's if it has any roots!!!!
