The real good June was almoust a dream start for beginner wine grower. July has been much more finnish style. Weather has changed a lot and day temperature has rised barely to 20 celcius degrees.
My vine sprouts have grown quite nicely. In Finland august is usually the best summer month. Days and nights are warm. Some thunder stroms and rains happens but basicly weather is great is you compere it to other months. If I get any harvest next year august weather is crucial to get grapes ripe.
Siegerrebe has been growing fast. The tallest one reached about 160 cm high. Some plants have made a bush out of them selves and some are just growing high. Solaris has been more careful than Siegerrebe. I think Solaris plants are making its root strong first. For next year I hope that both are strong and ready because I need both to pollinate each other.

One of my favourites
It is long wainting for a farmer. Good news is that all my plants are alive. The two Solaris I was about to change for Madeleine Angwine has come alive and sprouts are coming out.
Here is a nice story about one of my favourites white ones. It is actually first wine I have tasted.That time it was winegar in my opinion (age 13) but today I feel it has the good basics of cheap wine: Smooth taste with clear amount of acids. Flowering taste, not too light. I wuold mix this Italian girl with good greeg salade and fresh sword fish. Lots of wine, garlic and Feta cheese.
The story of Est! Est!! Est!!!
" In the 1111 the Bavarian (back in the Bavaria area again) Bishop Johannes Defuc was travelling to Rome under the instructions of the emperor Henry V. Being a coinnaisseur of wine, sent his servant, Martin, ahead to find lodgings where the wine was of a sufficiently high quality to please his palate. His instructions were to mark the word est! ("it is") at the entrance of every inn where wine was suitable or even est! est!! if the wine was of a particularly high quality. In Montefiascone his servant found the wine so good that he felt obliged to write the word est three times."
