I would not push for grapes for 3 years regardless of the location. You need 
to drop the crop on purpose in order to give them enough time to establish a 
healthy root system and trunk. Push them too hard too fast and you may have 
problems down the road in regards to winter hardiness and then die back and 
problems like crown gall can set in. Therefore you do not need nets for 
quite some time.

Because no one has tried grapes in my location I'm testing Frontenac,
Frontenac gris, St. Croix, Sabrevois, King of the North and Trollhaugen.
Soil is sandy loam, granite ledges run north south and will need to be
planted around, close to ocean so salt may be a factor.
