VASCM: Vine Leaf Problem - Help

[Thomas Legan]

Jim,  Correction...You need a lot of help!  Haven't you buried Juicy Fruit
gum at the base of every vine and spray Silly String on the canopy weekly?
Just kidding.  Consider hiring Prudy Foxx
our local Viticulture expert.  She lives out your way.  You'll be glad you
did.  Sorry to hear you have all these strange symptoms.
