 look at all the things one can do when you have a grape vine, or even if they grow wild by the millions as they do here in Niagara Peninsula....
 from seeds dropped by the birds from the grapes grown by the 60 plus wineries in this area.
 you can soak the vines that you prune off and twist them into wreaths to be decorated for Christmas door hangings, you can make Dolmas with the young leaves, you can have grape juice, or wine or jelly, you can put dried grape skin powder in to baking ... wow it never ends,,,,,, qahtan

Has anybody got recipes for using dried grape leaves?

And where can you buy a dolma roller?

My goodness, I blinked at the idea of a dolma roller as I always have a ceremonial June dolma session using my hands. But I looked at this video and it seems to be a really amazing tool.

And what is this "dried grape skin powder in to baking"? I certainly make lots of grape juice, and throw the grapes in with frying fish or meat to make a sharp sauce.

Never thought of making wreathes with the prunings, thanks.
