What surprised me, was how affordable they were, depite the long shipping, But, alas, by the time I established a lead with MDCrush, they were out of my flavor. (cab) I'm semi-temped for next year. |

If they are good, I may ramp up my production next year. April - May is a good time for me to bottle some of my local wines so I will have carboys empty ![]() |

The grapes were too pricey, over $1/#. If i knew they were premium grapes that would be one thing, i just have no visibility to that. Joe |

I started off paying about $.75 several years ago but now the cheapest is $1.00 per pound with most charging over that. The Central valley California grapes sold through S&S in Baltimore sell for slightly less but it is way too high brix for me. Of course, if I had to total my cost for growing my own last year - $1.00 would be a bargain. Spring freeze was disastrous for me. Of course, there are some that think that because you grow your own that they are "free" ha ha ha. |

![]() Paul, Joe, Would you please share your quality assessment of your Chilean/ Argentinean varietals? I, too, was tempted to get these grapes this year but have no idea about their quality. Thanks, RD |

The SG was around 1.089 on both, pH around 3.0 and TA was unusually low for the pH, 3.5 and 3.2 as tartaric. I calibrated the meter and checked the normailty of the NAOH so the numbers are right. The juice was a little flabby so i added around 50 grams of tartaric to both. Time will tell. It's going now. Joe |
