So far looks like you got excellent well rooted grape stock to work with.

The agave and the cactus are in containers.
Grapes dont really need a ton of water they grow wild here and live right along side the cactus and agave in the wild.
Dryer hotter years are also good wine years because of the amount of sugar is more.
I have done a ton of reading on making wine and wine grapes.
I had no idea some of the things they did to make wine sweet after it was made.
Like adding grape juice.
I dont plan on making wine I will be happy just to sit out there and eat grapes.
