- hotwine - 01-16-2006 Will be heading out to the Hill Country early afternoon tomorrow to attend a short course in viticulture offered by Texas Tech Univ. at their sattelite campus in Junction Tx. Back late Friday. Y'all be nice now, ya hear? No eye-gougin' or crotch-kickin', jes' clean fightin'. - Kcwhippet - 01-16-2006 I didn't think ww and hotsy could both leave us alone in the same week. - hotwine - 01-20-2006 Got thoroughly firehosed with info.... too much to absorb quickly. Very interesting. - Bucko - 01-21-2006 You thinking of doing a little grape growing? - hotwine - 01-21-2006 Have been thinking about it for a couple of years but there's lots to consider, especially location.... haven't found what I'm looking for yet. And the capital outlay for start-up of about $10K/ac in Texas (not counting the price of the land) means mistakes get real expensive real fast. Still thinking. - Thomas - 01-21-2006 I can tell you a thing or two about how to watch money sink into a hole called vineyard. - hotwine - 01-21-2006 Yeah, been thinking about that. I've got other money pits now and don't really want another. - Thomas - 01-21-2006 I should also say, aside from watching the money vanish into the earth, I have no regrets about having learned how to grow grapes. - Bucko - 01-23-2006 I thought a hole to throw money in was a boat.... - winoweenie - 01-23-2006 Best one I ever found was owning race horses.WW |
