How does that taste? I have a lot of them growing on my fence line and
had planned to prune the heck out of them this winter so I can get a
better grape crop this next year.

I'm just learning how to smoke meat in my offset smoker, so may dry the
vines instead of discarding them...


The French wine growers have grills on 3" to 4" legs, that they will put
over a fire of grape canes burning/smoldering on the ground and and cook
thin slices of meat.
