Explore with us as we take a self-guided tour the Castello di Amorosa, a Napa Valley Castle near Calistoga, California. This has become quite a family attraction in Napa Valley. It was completed in 2007 after 15 years of construction and was built using medieval techniques, hand chiseled stone, and even some bricks that were imported from other castles worldwide. This video sequence was shot in April, 2012 with a Canon Vixia HFS-100 video camera and edited in Adobe Premier Pro CS5. Sorry, tripod was not used on this video.

    Hello Eccobella3

    Both the scion ( Cabernet ) and the rootstock 101-14 are of the vitis genus with in the “Plant Kingdom” Where as Cabernet is vitis vinifera the rootstock is a combination of vitis rupestris and vitis riparia. The rootstock does not produce any wine grapes, but protects the vine from harmful elements in the soil. Because they are of the same genus, they can be grafted, and grow together.

    Thanks very much for watching the videos.

    Hello Pro303

    Thanks for the good question, I checked with Frank just to be sure. He said there is a danger of the wax getting into a thin gap in the fresh graft and adversely affecting the cambium layer connection and its development. A number of years ago they did some experiments and didn’t find any real benefit to doing the waxing earlier. In fact just the opposite, so that is the reason for the waxing after the calousing.

    Thanks again

    Dave

    Hey dave, how come you don’t dip them in wax right after you graft them?

    Thanks very much Tony for your message too. This is an amazing process how the vines are grafted and start to grow.

    Talk to you soon,

    Dave

    Hi John

    Thanks very much for your message, really appreciate it. I have learned a lot of new things over the past few weeks as the grafting was done, it has been quite interesting. Can’t wait to get them in the ground.

    Hi Dave, I just wanted to thank you very much for your educational videos. I greatly enjoyed the original eight videos you uploaded a couple of years ago, and it’s fantastic to see you back with such thorough videos again. Keep up the great work, John

    Just visited Castilo di Amorosa today with my husband. The staff was so incredibly inviting. There is really so much to see and absorb that one visit is not enough. I look forward to a return visit. You do not have to be a wine drinker to enjoy the beauty of this incredible creation of history, art and craft.
