QUEEN ANNE'S: We have 2 acres of 2nd and 3rd leaf that seems to be doing well ST. MARY'S: Fairly easy to grow; slightly over-vigorous; have yet to evaluate wine quality. WASHINGTON: Jury is still out re Barbera.
Growing   Recommendations:	In California, reported to be less susceptible to fungal diseases than other reds. Ripens late. Can give heavy yields.
