It goes without saying that if you have a grapevine in your yard and the season is right, most certainly use its fresh leaves. Clean under cold water before plunging them, one or two at a time, briefly into boiling water, to make them pliable enough to roll. Packaged grapevine leaves in brine can be found in most Middle Eastern food stores.
