Expansion and Replacement Vines

This season I've added four new varietals to the backyard vineyard, and although I have mentioned them here and there, I wanted to post a comprehensive list of what was added. The theme of the expansion was basically "red wine hybrids" that will survive in the Ohio climate. The single Dornfelder and Noiret vines are viewed as experiments, although I do expect them to thrive.
