I live in Houston and would like to plant a couple grape vines in my backyard and have started trying to do some research. I'm wondering if something like the Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio or Merlot be able to grow and produce in this high heat climate. I'm wondering if they require a certain climate or soil to grow and survive.
Worst case scenario is that I plant some Muscadines that grow wild in the area. I'm just very unsure and don't want to waste time and money in something that won't work for me.
I'm also looking to possibly find somewhere local to find and buy vines. If nothing around, i'll just order from somewhere like this place:

Any input and advice would be greatly appreciated.
