Grapes We Grow 2 — 4 Comments

  1. Hello Bingham Family,
    My name is Chase and I live outside of ropesville, Tx. I have about .5 of an acre of Cab. Sauv. that i put in in april ’09. I just purchased another property in terry co. to start putting more vines on in 2010. I met Cliff at becker vineyards in aug ’09 and he spoke of wanting to see new growers form a sort of co-op in the style of which he grows grapes. As i am about to take the plunge into winegrape growing on a bigger scale I was wondering if i could get together with you all at your convienance. Your time would be very much appreciated and valuable to me as I know it is to you. If you are to busy, i understand. I can only imagine with close to 80 acres to attend to.

  2. Yes, Chase, soon. Cliff remembers you. Cliff even reminded me about the chainsaw joke that Bobby told about your family :) . Actually we have been very busy with cotton harvest, but that is basically over now.
    Blessing, Betty

  3. Hello Bingham Family,

    I just purchased 9 acres in Northern California. I was wondering if growing grapes would be a good investment on this property.

  4. I would like to purchase or grow Trebbiano grapes. Do sell your grapes or is it possible to buy some vines from you?
    Thank you!
