A lot of people probably do not realizae just how many grapes are grown in Southwest Michigan.
Our area is known for its many wineries and other farmers have contracts with Welches and haul truckload after truckload up to Lawton where the Welches plant is.
The grape vine is used in some powerful biblical examples. The vines are very very strong, but you must prune grapes if you want a good harvest.
One of my absolute favorite smells in the world is that of fresh grapes. I have fond memories of driving in my convertible down the back roads so that I can smell the grapes at harvest time. If someone could make a candle smell just like that I would buy it in a minute! Just open a jar of homemade grape juice and you will see what I mean.
