New additions to the Vineyard

I received my new Vines today.  5 Blanc Du Bois and 3 additional Black Spanish to give me a total of 8.  I added an additional row for the Blanc Du Bois and integrated the Black Spanish into the existing row to space them 5 feet apart.

Blanc Du Bois is a Hybrid that was developed by the University of Florida.  It is capable of producing a nice White Wine.  The Black Spanish has been around since the Spanish settle the New World.  Supposedly the Catholic Priest brought the from Spain and planted them in Texas.  They thrive in the southern Gulf climate.
