Thank you for the super fast reply.

I’ve been making a few other kits and now wanted to try and make a FWK kit - preferably one of the whites. Sorry if I missed a post, but I can’t find any of the whites available for purchase. Does anyone know if they are available for purchase still?

One good source for grapes is the local “the beverage people” website. If you go on their website, they have a section where they facilitate a little marketplace with local grapes for sale when we get closer to harvest. Either “picked” or “you pick”. Growers usually start posting what they have...

Welcome BarrelMonkey! I’m also new to winemaking and growing. I have just started a little 60+ vine hobby vineyard. We are located North East of Santa Rosa. thanks, Lars

Fantastic! I just checked out the link to Brehms that was inserted above. Looks like they offer a pickup in Richmond, CA for some of their frozen juice. That sounds interesting to me as well. Keep us updated on how you proceed with your next steps. There are so many good posts in here and so...

Thanks for all the warm welcome notices and suggestions. I will update my account. The metal posts for the trellis system are already ordered - but with all the commercial vineyards planting right now, they are on back-order. Hopefully I should get them within a week or two.

Hey everyone, My name is Lars and I live in Sonoma County surrounded by wine and vineyards. I’ve been lurking a bit in the forum and have used all of the wonderful advice to plant my little hobby vineyard in the back. I am looking forward to learning as I go - I feel secure enough to get...
