This is what the grapes look like now.............................
Yep 82 rows (used to be 88) ...each row individually numbered.............
Will eventually become THIS....WELCH'S GRAPE JUICE! So the next time you are in the grocery store...pick up some Welch's grape juice and you could just possibly be drinking some of dad's grapes! It really is delicious and good for you if I do say so myself!

Hope you enjoyed the vineyard tour! Just in case you are wondering....NO we do NOT pick this all by hand..(thank goodness!) Harvest time comes at the end of Sept. and lasts for a good month or so. There is a special grape picker tractor that does all that...it goes over the top of the row and vibrates the grapes onto a conveyor belt and spills them out a shoot into a 100 ton bin. They are then shipped of to the Welch's processing plant. Okay well that's the end of the tour, if you have any questions, please feel free ot ask! Thanks for coming along!! ;0)

Thanks for sharing. I really enjoyed it.
Good Afternoon, It's nice to meet you. It looks like we have a lot in common. First of all Scotties, then chipping paint and rust and repurposing found items. Please stop by and visit us at Rocky Creek sometime.
I loved seeing your Dad's grapes. That's a dream of mine - to grow rows and rows of grapes.
Have a wonderful afternoon,
Lynn
I lift my glass to Dad
