Thanks you guys. I love the look. Ever since I took a vacation in Greece and saw how they have them hanging down over you while you dined, I knew I had to have the same thing. I debated over Wisteria or the grapes but in the end the grapes won. I really should pick them all since they are starting to turn into raisins now. I just like looking at them so I keep them up longer than I should. LOL!!!

They are yummy. I ended up with two cookie sheets of grapes I'm drying for raisins since they are a little dehydrated and shriveled. Then I took a bag full of plump ones to share at work. I still have tons left on the vines I plan to give to my mother and sisters on Friday.

Wish I knew how to make wine. I'd like to try it one season just for kicks.
