Growing grapes in Austin.

Hi,
I got hold of some small grape plants of the Fire, Ruby and Thompson
varieties. I have planted them along the arbor/fence around our pool,
so they will have good support and a lot to climb on. I have never
done grapes before though, so what will it take to succeed with them
here in Austin?
I'd recommend drip irrigation for starters. And, hopefully you have
decent soil depth at the location where you planted these grapes.
Grapes develop deep roots and don't like rock layers or hardpans.
