How do you get out of the garden grape leaves to be pliable enough for dolmades?

[Shawn]

Do you soak them in vinegar or crush the w/ a rolling pin or what?

I would blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes till pliable - like leaves for cabbage rolls.

Soak them in Beer, wine, or spirits. I doubt you can follow directions but try steaming them. But you can also buy them ready to use.
