This is a 5 year old vine that has been in a permanent location for 3 years. We got one bunch of grapes last year that was really tiny. We pruned it last year and left nice strong canes and we were hoping to get lots of bunch’s this year but we only have one bloom again. Any suggestions would be really helpful because I’m almost ready to give up on this vine.
It does take at least three years before they start fruiting. Take a look at how your vine is trained, pruned, fertilized, and pollinated. Even though Thompson seedless is self pollinating, it will produce better if you have a second vine. These articles should help:

I have a retaining wall that is pretty much in the sun the hottest part of the day Can I grow grape vines and train them to go down the wall I have good soil at the top of this said retaining wall Thank you.
Grape vines don't usually ramble down a wall but are trained so the side shoots grow horizontally. It may be easier to train them from the bottom of the retaining wall.

Found growing in my g/house where I already have a vine
It does appear to be a grapevine. I'm not certain what type, since it could be wild, but it does appear to be a grape.
Thank you for your speedy reply ,the vine in my g\house is a black Alicante can i assume that it will produce fruit ,
Is this a vine found growing in my g/house where I have a vine
Please see my answer on the original question, here:
In a vineyard, yeast is commonly found on the bloom of the grape berries - Assuming it feeds on the grape how can they be termed as saprophytes as the grape would be a living organism and not dead or decaying organic stuff
Because they are breaking down the sugars and converting them into alcohols, this makes them a saprophyte, at its simplest level.
They are not actively attacking the grapes, but are taking advantage of an, already active, infection and injury, likely. That, or it is growing in the flower nectar.
Unfortunately, some of these byproducts that come from the yeasts will destroy the plant material. Some success has be achieved using Kaolin clay.
