Our New Grape Arbour & Bench

Very nice! The arbor looks sturdy enough for a bumper crop of grapes.

(Now you’ll need a winepress, & accessories.)

The bench fits right in.

thanks Dick.
and I bought a wine press in the spring (at an antique store). I bought it for making apple juice. Now—yippee—grape juice here I come! :)
I had forgotten about it until you reminded me.

If you don’t make any wine, you can always make a wishing well out of the wine press like I did.

YIPPEE!

Next year this time, a little wine, a little cheese and you will be all set. I wish I had te space in the yard for one.

very nice…can you grow grapes in the Artic??? its funny I have been stacking fire wood all morning…and I live in napa—-and you are growing grapes…gotta love it!

-- Matt, Napa, CA...fun is beautiful...just trying to have some fun...

I don’t make wine… but we like to mix juices with gingerale so maybe a few bottles of grape juice will be perfect!

But I like the wishing well idea; maybe I’ll get rich!

Matt: that’s funny. Isn’t the world interesting.
We did pile fire wood this morning as well—but it was for our bonfire breakfast tomorrow morning :)

Debbie, a really nice looking project nows time to look up what you will need to do with those grape vines to get them and keep them producing. when you do get grapes and make juice remember that it will realy add flavor if you just let the juice sit and fermet just a little.

Debbie – this is fantastic. I pass a winery every day on the way back from work (that one is in zone 5). They look very healthy. Good luck with yours.

Great job Debbie.

I had an old Italian neighbor who made wine. When he would tap his keg for the first taste, he used to call me over for a taste. He’d pour me a small 4 oz glass, & it was always very good. It was a little sweeter when first tapped.

I would thank him, & say I have to go now, but he always insisted, & made me drink one more glass. He said, ”You have to have one more for the other eye, or you’ll walk crooked”. <(;O}#
