Yes, I do have pictures of the grape vines.  We have three different big areas for grapes here and two at the old house in the hollow.  I started taking the pics just as they were starting to grow this year because it's really cool to see the inside of how they start.

Here's where they are right now.  I'll post more as they start to ripen.😃❤️

Those look yummy. Do you make wine with any of the berries?

DH made some wine with frozen grape juice, peach juice & another one I don't remember what it was. He used the peach wine when he cooked pork on the grill or smoker. 

He used to make beer, Hasn't done that in a while.

No, we've never made wine with any of these berries, but I'd love to try.  In the past, we have made wine from our grapes and apples.  That's very clever to think of peach wine.  I've never tried that either, but you're giving me some great ideas.  We eat a lot of pork too, so I'll bet it's great!  Thank you for posting about this.😃❤️

Thank you so much for letting me know what I can make with them.  My regular raspberries are nearly gone, but these are just coming in.  I've never made anything with them.  Your recipe sounds delicious!😃❤️

  where I live these berries are prevalent. I have many of the wild  wine berry vines  surrounding my yard.

 I've seen some people picking the berries  that grow alongside the secondary roads , however I've also seen the trucks spraying weed killer on vegetation  along the same areas along the road . I'd be careful where you pick.

You're so right about being careful of those sprayed.  These berries are prevalent at the house I grew up in and at my grandparents old place.  That's where my dad brought the start of these from.😃❤️
