Context

Dear Mary: Due to rearranging my vineyard, to the late April freeze, and to the over abundance of birds in August, I was only able to save sufficient grapes of Seibel #5279 and Missouri Reisling to make 5 gallon varietal batches. It was a poor vintage year. I am excite about the coming season. If my grafted vines survive the winter, then next I fall I will possibly be able to make a wine from true Vinifera grapes grown in Missouri. Sincerely,
