" I'm not sure I'm ready to plant yet, is a vineyard plan worth it now?"

YES. Here's why:

The decisions you make BEFORE planting determine the success of your vineyard for decades. Getting your soil right, your rows oriented correctly, your trellis built for your varieties, these aren't things you can easily fix later.
