Adding Blanc Dubois grapevines and more Black Spanish

Decided to add a row of Blanc Dubois grapevines to the vineyard.  30 vines to be exact.  Living in the South we are limited to types of vines we can grow due to pierce disease.  After a lot of research I decided on this vine.  Plus I needed some white grapes, I’ve only planted red to date.  I hear some people don’t want or like a red wine.  Don’t understand that, but okay, white will be added.  The Black Spanish did pretty good last year so I decided to add another half row.  I now have about 30 of those vines as well.  They didn’t have issues like the Lomanto did last year.  They also don’t grow near as fast.  With the vigor less, should make it easier to work with.
