Felicia,

I am a member of Western Cascade Fruit Society based in the Puget Sound
Region of Washington State.  I'm going to forward this message to
another member that has been breeding his own grapes for a number of
years in Milton, near Tacoma.  I'm sure he could recommend some wine
grapes for your situation.  He has many grape plants in his nursery that
he is trying to clear out, so maybe you can obtain your wine grape
plants through him.

I'd like to put in a few wine grapes.  We have been growing eating
grapes for several years with great success.  I know their is a several
grapes experts in our group and would love any suggestions.  I'm in zone
8, Camano Island Washington.  I like white sweet wines like Riesling or
Sauvignon Blanc, husband likes those and merlot.  I saw Madeleine
Angevine in the Raintree catalog and thought that might be a good pick.
I read in Joe Cox's book "From Vines to Wines" that Sauvignon Blanc
grapes are good for our area, but couldn't find them for sale.  Any
ideas ?

 

Thanks for any ideas -

Felicia
