~Along the back fence line they grow all over~
~Delicious ... Bullis Grapes of the Muscadine family~
~When ripened they are a large bronze-clolored grape~
~LOL ... the only 'wrath' could be if you drank too much of the wine~

MartieSis~
I only grow 'em and eat 'em !
I just never had a hankering for that 'other stuff' in any form~

BUT ... when I was the Executive Director of the Chamber of Commerce in Clermont, FL, I brought a new winery industry to the area~
Lakeridge Wineries has expanded greatly since, with award winning labels~
You can order online if you'd like to take a look at their varieties~

Love you~

I'm an eater not a drinker too.  I love, love Concord grapes and they don't sell them in baskets like they used to.  They put them all into wine.  So I have some vines but I have to fight the birds to get a taste and we don't get the frosts that turn them sweet.  I miss those baskets of concords.  Joyce

Dear Marge:  Enjoyed the picture and the sentiments!  We don't see much variety in grapes around here.  Green or red seedless and that's about it!

I have passed Lakeridge so many times on the way to the airport in Orlando. I keep promising myself that someday I will stop and tour. And yes, I have made my own wine for the pleasure of my friends. Don't touch the stuff myself...lol

the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost

Thanks gal friend~

Pegasus~
If you get that way again ... please stop and tour .. it's WONDERFUL and free !

And ... if Keith Mullins is still the manager there .. be sure to introduce yourself and tell him I said hello~

Lakeridge has also opened a winery in St. Augustine~
