It is the same kind of soi in Portugal. Sr ‘s winery and vineyards are the only Port grape vineyar ted States; only vineyards that cultivate the real Port wine grape of Portugal ; while other wines or mixtures called port are made without a single Oporto grape inthem. Mr. Speer is the first and only one who imported the vines and acclimated the real Port wine grape vines of Portugal. He spent thousands of dollars asa hobby to see what he could do toward acclimating these Portugal vines here. It took eight years for them to become acclimated before Mr. Speer got a single “grape; during those years all died except abouteight hundred vines, when those began to grow vigorous and bear fruit ; from these, layers were made for new vines. The vineyards now cover fifty six acres. It has proven a success. The grapes are allowed to hang onthe vines until they begin to raisin, when they have parted with some of the water and are rich in sugar; and thewine made from Port wine grapes is the only real genuine Port wine made in America.
