Marquette Grape Harvest 2019
Today we harvested our Marquette grapes! I started getting ready at about 4:30 AM, and finally got back from the last delivery at 9:30 PM -- 17 hours total!

Cindy started helping as soon as she dropped of Natalie at school so most of the day it was two people picking! I had no idea how long it would take, but I wouldn't have guessed it would take as long as it did. The winery that we sold the grapes to hires the girl's volleyball team from the local high school to pick at their winery vineyard, and the Amish to help pick their Marquette at another location.
The winery owner mentioned several times how 'perfect' and beautiful our grapes were, so that was nice. He also offered Natalie a job next summer at their brick oven pizza /wine tasting restaurant at the winery.
As I state in the video, the total comes to 1170 lbs. of Marquette grapes harvested in 2019. We got a below average price, but next year we have the confidence and know-how to get full market value or above!

Popping Bottles To Promote IA Wine
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS 2/FOX 28)--A cold night sounds like a perfect night for some wine.
Believe it or not, some Corridor winemakers say the colder temperatures are helping our wine this year.
Iowa's sparkling wine is typically drier, although there still are some sweeter sparkling wines out there.
Four wineries got together for the first-ever Flight of the Corks, where winemakers got to see how far the cork flew in the air from some of their finest bubbly.
Iowa is a very, very competitive state, John Burns said, with Barrel Head Winery in Dubuque. It's about promoting more champagne in Iowa.
For John Burns, it's not just about his bubbly, but also making his wine popular around the world.
We have the conditions to make the right top quality bubbles, he said. That's what exactly what we want to do get us on the map.
Burns said to make Iowa wine, you need rich soil and lots of moisture, plus plenty of sunshine. It's a shorter growing season but it makes high acidity grapes.
We have really good conditions in Iowa to make really good champagne, he said.
Winemakers do have to be mindful that if you get really cold temps, like the ones we've been seeing, they can either help or harm the crop. It all depends on which kind of grape. For example, Burns lost about 50 percent of one of their champagne grapes last year. But, some winemakers say, this cold snap, this early, can make the grapes sweeter, once they're harvested.
Grapes like dry feet so you need the drainage but like any other plant they enjoy our good soils and if we have a good combination of sunlight and enough water we're gonna have a good crop, Steve Larson said. Larson is a member if the Iowa Wine Growers Association and winemaker at Train Wreck Winery in Algona.
Here in Iowa, there are more than 80 wineries or vineyards in our 99 counties.
Out of those 12-hundred and 50 acres, the state brings in about 420 million dollars from wine.
It's an industry that stretches from the Minnesota border to Missouri from the Mississippi to the Missouri River, Larson said. It's an industry that's really exploded.
And an industry that they hope will continue to grow.
There is no record but there will be tonight, Burns said.
Well, Friday night was all about bragging rights but Andrew Morse with Barrel Head Winery set a Guinness World Record at 49 feet and 11 inches. So that means his bubbly had more pressure inside to fly the cork further in the air.
Winemakers hope to make The Flight for the Corks an annual event.

Wine Tasting: 2014 Marquette from Thousand Islands Winery
Marquette is an up and coming hybrid grape with award winning status. Developed to withstand harsh winters it is being cultivated in the northern climates of many states including New York. It has many of the attributes of Pinot Noir and has serious potential to become a signature wine of North America. This 2014 Marquette is from Thousand Island Winery in Alexandria Bay, New York and it is a fine example of what this wine has to offer.

Chambourcin Wine Grape Harvest - Rowe Ridge Vineyard & Winery - Wyandotte County, Kansas
Chambourcin Wine Grape Harvest - Rowe Ridge Vineyard & Winery - Wyandotte County, Kansas
Wine growing states like Kansas, Missouri, Iowa and Arkansas experience much colder winter months than Pacific coastal states. As a result, varietals like Pinot Noir are nearly impossible to keep healthy without dying. Heartier grape vines like Norton and Chardonnel can live through the long weeks of the brutal winter cold; however, they invariably lack the gentle palate and delicate fruit qualities of more sought after premium wines.
Wine Tasting Chambourcin at Rowe Ridge Vineyard & Winery
Our personal Rowe Ridge journey began on another beautiful crisp autumn Saturday in Kansas City. Only a few sparse trees contained leaves turning brown. The sky was sunny and the temperature around seventy degrees as we excitedly opened the door to the Rowe Ridge wine tasting room. That's where we met Pam Rowe (co-owner and co-founder with her husband, Marc).
The Real Joy Of Wine Tasting Includes Great Conversations
We had just finished our first two tastings of Chardonel and Seyval Blanc. Both whites - both refreshing and smooth. But it was during our third wine when Kimberly said, I think that's one of the first Chambourcin's I've tasted that I actually liked! Her revelation cracked the place up. Like I said, Chambourcin can be extremely bitter - and very notably earthy. While I'm usually the outspoken one of the group, that's an example of how comfortable wine tasting at Rowe Ridge can be. In fact, over an hour had passed before we realized how much in-depth conversation and knowledge Pam had afforded us. (We talked at great length about winemaking, local varietals, local liquor laws and Kansas Winery Trails).
It was finally five o'clock and closing time when our exit rapidly approached. Today had been another truly exceptional wine tasting experience, so I expressed my interest to Pam about recording some video at her winery. Given our comfortable rapport, she was more than open to the idea and asked if we wanted to come back next weekend to join the Chambourcin wine harvest volunteer group. What an offer! We asked what time, she said around nine and we thanked her for the invite. We'll see you next weekend, we chimed as we smiled and left. Kimberly and I were thrilled; we wouldn't miss that for the world!
Chambourcin Wine Harvest at the Rowe Ridge Family Farm
Along with many others, we arrived just after 8:30 am on Saturday, September 16th. It was fun to watch the gathering group of volunteers and winery workers all here to pick the Chambourcin wine harvest. They suited up with work gloves, harvest tools, and yellow plastic containers - while I mounted my cell phone as a video camera onto the swivel head of my metal Bogen tripod.
As we entered the field of grape vines, Pam thanked us for coming to donate our time and enthusiasm. Then she described where to cut above the grape cluster at a visible curved elbow as she led the group to the rows of vines in the fields where she demonstrated how to place the clipped wine grape clusters in the yellow bins. These hold about 20 pounds of grapes, she explained. After the large blue bin was brought by the tractor, then it could be filled with the smaller yellow bins, and then the tractor would take that large bin back for temporary storage - before sorting.
We are harvesting Chambourcin, Pam me, so we depend on volunteers to come help us get our grape crop in. They're very instrumental in getting everything picked. They (the wine grapes) should be about perfect. I asked Pam ideally what mature grapes should look like and so she showed some to the camera. There's a nice cluster right here. See that? That's a good cluster. For the most part, it's a good size, all the grapes seem to have ripened about the same - we've got a little down here at the bottom that's not ripe - but for the most part, this is the size of cluster we would like to have. And, if you take one off and open it up you can see that pretty juice and the brown seeds and the soft skin. And it tastes good.

What the Heck is Marquette?
