NY isn't quite Vinland: geocities.com They eventually established a settlement at L’Anse-aux-Meadows on the northern tip of Newfoundland, or Vinland.

Thanks for your response. It seems the grapes are returning to Vinland after all. Finally it has been speculated that grapes did in fact grow in Newfoundland (47-51°N) in the past but have not until 2002, when a successful vinyard was established in Gambo, Newfoundland and Labrador, 48 50'°N. The time period of the Vinland settlement corresponds with the Medieval Warm Period (from about the 10th century to about the 14th century). Water temperatures in the northern hemisphere during this time were up to 1°C warmer, allowing the planting of vineyards as far north as the coastal zones of the Baltic Sea (ca. 56°N) and southern England (ca. 51°N). thanks again chartseer
