That's too bad. I hope it's still in operation with whomever it was sold to.
They do really well running from the back to the door on the north wall. High single cordon. The yield under cover is insane...but the flavor is uninteresting - just sweet. I've been told that planting the root in soil outside the wall, and training the vines in through a collar...would solve this problem. Best of both worlds. Still only makes sense when you don't have alot of grapes, and you need to keep every one alive and producing at their fullest.
Winter injury is a big problem here in the bluegrass. Then we've got the usual pests and disease, and the usual customers concerned about products used to control those. If you're trying to grow european varieties, especially heirlooms....for a discerning customer..you pretty much have no other options given the climate here. Real shame, because soil is great - and alot of it is tough to find responsible use for on account of slope. So we grow american hybrids and count on terroir to make up for any real or perceived difference between them.
