Down-State Illinois Grape/Juice Sources

[smcalli1]

Does anyone have a list of vineyards that sell grapes and juice to home winemakers? I'm in the Belleville area and would love to find several sources in the area. Thanks.

St. James does.

I don't have the lastest list, but I pm'ed you last years list.

When I get the updated email I will post it.

Keep in mind each varietal is 55 gallons min purchase..
