[AT] Grape growing was: Re: List member check in Please Read

[Al Walker]

I apologize for taking so long to get back to youi, Don, but I have been 
recovering from two hemoregic strokes and a pulmonary embolism. My 
typing skills are not up to par yet, so if there are errors, please 
forgive.  I am out of the hospital and congtinuing to recover at home.  
I guess any grape planting will have to wait until next year.  I live 
near Red Lake Falls, MN.  Two Fools Winery, owned by Leroy and Carol 
Stumph is approximately 15 miles east of us.  I have talked to Leroy a 
couple of times, but more conversations with any knowledgeable persons 
would be helpful.
