Ohio Dornfelder Experiment

The Dornfelder experiment is a result of a close friend liking this varietal, he was drinking a semi sweet, very dark red wine. After some research, the growing zone was a 6, so I pulled the trigger considering our new found growing zone data works into my favor (thanks global warming). The grapes are very dark, my assumption is that they will be useful as a blending juice if not suitable for a stand alone wine. Only a single vine will be planted for the first year of this experiment. It is rolling the dice, but it is a pretty fun experiment and I will document the process along the way. My hope is to try single vine experiments of different varietals each season as vineyard space permits.
