Do you have sufficient growing degree days in
Vancouver to ripen Chambourcin? In my
experience, it makes a really crappy wine unless
it has time to really ripen fully.

I think if I were you, I would think about
certified virus free nursery stock.

There also may be some restrictions about sending
plants across the border without being inspected
but I am far from an expert on this.
