Is there a website for this company? Do you know if the juice will be balanced or not?

www.mercurioproduce.com. I've heard these are good grapes (from the guys at Gentiles on King Ave) but have never tried them myself. I was going to get a pail and some fresh grapes to try them out. It will be nice to have a good source here though. I put an email in to see if the pails are balanced yesterday and he's checking on it.

I was thinking about getting 80#"s of Pinot Noir Grapes and a pail of Zinfandel. They also have a fall order from California I will be looking into.

these buckets do appear to be balanced. Here's the approximate values:

Brix is around 21 to 23

Ph 3.6

TA I am not sure
Their is some S02 about 30 parts

Yes I did! Not the Chilean juice last spring but some Californian and Italian juice this fall. I made the trio up to luva bella up in Youngstown, mostly because there was a get together with a bunch of us. I think we're doing it again this year too. You should join us! The stuff from macurios was pretty good. The California juice was from Lori Gold and the Italian juice was actually from L'uva Bella anyway so it all worked out

That sounds like a plan.. Sounds like a lot of fun! I wanted to make a Chilean Cab the price for the juice and the Grapes ..You cant beat. I will be ordering this spring. Thanks for the reply. Keep me updated on the progress of wines. Did you have to do a lot of adjusting? I wonder if they have any frozen left over? I went out to there site, it is under construction.

Shoe, Are you ordering Chilean Juice this year from Joe M. Company? If so do you have a list of what they will have available to order?
