Wooww!!! I have never been to a huge vineyard yet😮❤
It's looks like very huge vienyard
Thank you for making these videos. They are so informative. I have learned so much from you.
Hello have you got any work for me?i want to work with you.write me please
Hello.i want to work here.how can i work in this vineyard?write me please.
👍👍
Very instructive. Good video.
Congratulations on 40 years of Ruby Nouveau! Another Wisconsin gem from the Wollersheim/Coquard family.
Glad to see you! I like known more about your life out from vineyards and winery! Good luck!
Ok, but isn't it better to reduce quantity of clusters much more earlier not during the late veraison? Even before blooming? I leave two or three clusters on the shoot, and all the plant's energy goes to them from the very early stage of vegetation.
Great question! While reducing the number of clusters early on can help control fruit load, we also count buds during pruning and manage fruit load throughout the season. However, green harvesting at late veraison is crucial for fine-tuning quality. At this stage, we can see how clusters have developed and focus the plant's energy on the ripening fruit. If you reduce too early, it can overstress the vines, and after a point, reducing clusters won't concentrate sugars further; instead, you just end up losing fruit. Timing is key to achieving the best balance between yield and quality.
I am in florida, and I planted four different, one is a seeded Concord, what I want to know is does it matter how tall the trunk is? Because I'm short and I don't want to have to do a whole lot of overhead work I'm thinking about having the trunk only be about 3 ft do you think that would be okay
Thanks for your question! Having a shorter trunk, like 3 feet, can work, but you need to consider the climate. In warm and humid regions like Florida, being closer to the ground can increase the risk of fungus due to limited airflow and higher moisture. This is especially important for varieties like Concord, which can be more prone to disease in such conditions. I'd recommend checking with local growers or experts in your area, as they'll have the best advice for managing your specific conditions.
Those look beautiful!
Amazing!
We've been privileged to have met Philippe Coquard at a couple of his pairing dinners at the winery (sign up if you are fast!!!). He is always happy to share the history, the process and the general enthusiasm to be making wines. Pairing great food just adds to the experience. Creating great wines though is the testament to how much he cares about the industry and the future of US wine production.
Grapes into wine -- what a beautiful gift from the earth, and from those hard-working winemakers!
🎉 tell me please what you gonna do with grapes skins and seeds? Distillery or composting?
Guys your channel is great kip going! But l don't understand why so little views of video's... Well... May be people like more drink your wines than look it)))
Wow... Wollersheim grape harvest, Packers games, and now a new Cabernet wine finished in Bourbon barrels. Autumn in Wisconsin is fabulous!
great podkast! regarding the freezing of juice, the second most popular sparkling wine in the world, Prosecco, can argue with you... They cool the juice and make wine when the suppliers need it... And their financial success speaks to something significant... but still, I agree with you that faster is better)
Great point! Prosecco's method works well because it's a sparkling wine, and its production process often involves the Charmat method, where the second fermentation happens in a large tank. Cooling the juice allows them to control the timing of that fermentation, ensuring the wine is fresh and bubbly when needed. However, since we don't carbonate most of what we make, our approach focuses more on maintaining the natural characteristics of the wine through a quicker, more straightforward process. This helps preserve the flavors and aromas that define our wines, which is a bit different from the needs of sparkling wine production.
One of my best memories at Wollersheim was when Philippe gave a cellar tour not long after he arrived in the US. Around his neck was a silver multi-faceted tasting cup that was given by his family. I was so impressed by him so many years ago. Continued success my friend.
many years a go)) cool
Thanks for sharing!
Excellent video. These videos with Philippe were my introduction to Wollersheim! I have tried a few of your wines and they are fantastic. 🍷 keep up the great videos!
Great to hear!
Great video Philippe!
Glad you liked it!
Amazing to me how much science our Wisconsin farmers have to know. Thanks for the updates and descriptions of what is happening in the vineyards!
Thank you for explaining how different it is to prune Concord grapes. That is what I have.
Hi! I am from Ukraine, Kirovograd region, Blahovishchenske city, 48 parallel. I already have 20% brix (Marquette). Good luck!
Very nice!

Always listen to your UA-cam broadcasts!! Thank you! I own a vineyard and Yukon Oklahoma. And your experience has broaden my knowledge base and I thank you for that!
Thanks for watching!
Do you run with two trunks throughout the life of the vine, or do you eventually cut out one of the trunks? Thanks!
We maintain it for the life of the vine when possible.
I need advice on fertilization
We will have a video on this topic tomorrow!
Brother can you tell me please how much fertilizer should apply and frequency per plant.Have small greenhouse (5 x 4 mtrs) and 6 months old grapes in different variety. Will appreciate very much in guiding me and right now have dug in several bamboo post for catch wires for V S P and 1 row of high cordon wire. Salamat po ( thank you Sir).
We will have a video on this topic tomorrow!
Salamat Brother (thank you) at last found you 'cause you spoke words so clearly to understand.
Do you use chemical sprays? Thank you.
We do, but we are currently exploring ways to continue minimizing the use. We have tried steam and just recently we have invested in a new mower that can mow between rows, stay tuned!
Q: Why are you doing two trunks? A: In case of damage, winter injury, wood cancer
Awesome I had no idea about pruning them at that stage I got some work to do 👍
Glad I could help
I always look forward to hearing his wisdom
Good time of year, I’m watching you from Russia, I’m very glad that you weren’t affected by frost. This year, in our central part, all the shoots, without exception, were frostbitten, 100% of the crop was lost. Thank you for the update, we'll be following your progress. good luck with the new grape varieties on the property.
Have you ever thought about using leaf mulch?
Yes! We use a variety of organic compounds in our mulch.
Thanks for the fundraising efforts to support our veterans. And wow, I could never have imagined how complicated modern farming has become. Love the updates from Wollersheim!
Our pleasure!
Very nice vineyard
How did the experiment go?
Great! We are planting earlier to help with compaction a bit more.
Great video ! Super helpful. I just planted eight pink catawba vines ! What northern extreme cold varients do you grow for a true red wine ?
I assume this is a cane pruning method!
This is the very best place for helpful info!
Glad you think so!
I have a small vineyard and have always enjoyed your videos!! We don't have very many deer but notice that they like to nibble on the vine leaves at the end of the rows. Last year, I tied aluminum pie tins to the end posts and all the leaves grew back. It seems cheaper than a fence at this time, and might help those small homesteaders who are short on cash.
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the full review of preparing the soil for planting vines. Philip, if it’s not a secret, tell me what grape varieties you chose for this planting and why?
We grow a Marechal Foch, Lacrosse, Marquette, St. Pepin, and other varieties that do well in our Wisconsin climate.
The Best video for grape pruning!!! WELL DONE!
Glad it was helpful!
I spy a Rice Lake scale indicator
What kind of grape is this?
This looks to be one of our younger fields of Marquette. Cheers!
Awsome bro and love the music
Is this appropriate for grape varieties suitable for cane pruning or spur pruning?
Without more information on your specific case, this is the best answer we can provide: Different grape cultivars exhibit varying responses to pruning methods. While some thrive with cane pruning, others fare better with spur pruning, and some are versatile enough to accommodate either approach. In our practice, we exclusively employ spur pruning for its efficiency, allowing for a faster process in a single pass. If you opt for cane pruning, it's important to note that canes must be securely fastened each year. Additionally, it can be beneficial to rejuvenate the cordon periodically by introducing a new cane as needed.
Wow that's awesome, Amazing winery, first time I've seen how to make Wines.
