Its Friday Morning here in Orlando Florida..The Garden is a Poppin !

The state of Florida is located in the very south-eastern corner of the USA, bordered by Alabama and Georgia to the north, the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the Atlantic Ocean to the east. Florida covers 66,500 square miles (170,000 square km) and stretches between the northern latitudes of 24 and 31 degrees. This position lines it up almost perfectly with Baja California on the other side of the North American continent and the deserts of the Middle East on the opposite side of the world. It may seem unlikely, therefore, that this hot, humid state would be able to support viticulture, but Florida does in fact have a burgeoning wine industry.
Despite having one of the longest winemaking traditions of any US state, Florida did not have success with its viticulture until the last few decades. Generations of Floridians (with the inevitable hiatus during Prohibition) experimented with different grape varieties in search of vines that would thrive in Florida's climate. Vinifera varieties do not enjoy the humidity here, suffering from Pierce's disease and various fungal problems such as downy mildew and black rot. However, native varieties from Florida, when crossed with Vitis rotundifolia, create disease-resistant grapes without the thick skin normally associated with robustness.
Blanc du Bois, Suwanee and Miss Blanc are the vines of choice in Florida and create an steadily increasing flow of wine for the millions of tourists who frequent the state's coastal resorts.
