Much cooler here than in Eastern Washington, and I think it all comes down to site and micro climate. I'm chomping at the bit to give it a try. I knew that Canadians grew wine grapes commercially, but Chardonnay in Newfoundland? Did you harvest this year? What are the numbers (brix, TA, pH)? I'd love to know how the wine turns out. Erroll Thanks Vicky,

If they grow well up here in Newfoundland (Canada), they should do spectacularly for you in Washington!
