    Fresh juice in Florida

    Michael at Gino Pinto estimated that shipping would be about 127.00 this year for my 12 - 6 gallon buckets of wine juice. And yes, it starts fermenting on it's own yeast during the trip to Alabama. I add my own yeast and oak when I receive it and let it finish. They are shipping Monday and I...

    Fresh juice in Florida

    Ugh, I moved to central Alabama from Buffalo, NY 6 years ago and for the past 3 years I have had juice shipped to me from New Jersey via truck. I resorted to kits the first few years for my grape wine, but I prefer the fresh juice. Good luck with your move to Florida and future wine making.

    Hi from Alabama

    Hi, Thanks Tom for inviting me to this forum. I've been making wine for about 10 years. Most of it is from fresh juice, along with blueberry and blackberry, which I make from fresh fruit.
