OK, you're killing me. What are they getting and any chance they want to give up 100 lbs or so?
Assume you're talking the Bull Run Winery next to the battlefield.

The grapes yesterday came in half ton bins. I don't know why I didn't ask him yesterday. It's probably not the Washington State coming in on Tuesday. I'll try to get more info today.
Merlot and Cab Franc. I told him about 500 lbs of Cab Franc. I want 200 and thought others may want some as well. I just texted back and told him if the price is right maybe a half ton.

What, no Red Mountain Cab?. Keep me posted. Where are they from in WA?
He told me it was too late to order another bin and doesn't have enough to sell a large quantity. I'm hoping to get 150 lbs. I can try for 200 so we can make 5 gal each if you like. I'll see him again on Tuesday. We will be crushing 20 ton.

Yesterday one of my daughters and I picked 3 lugs of Merlot from a cousins vineyard.
Today destemmed and crushed.

Pressed the wine this Saturday (yesterday). It all went well and only took about 2 hours to complete and another 4 hours to celebrate. Total yield off of 36 lugs was 319 liters.

I'm happy with the grapes from todays crush, 3.45pH, 0.65TA, 22 brix.
I like that ratio!!
I am surprised you didn't get rid of that stupid bucket yet. Especially after Thursday.

It's is an impressive operation, I tells ya. Color me jealous.

i got one of these for this year, so much nicer than trying to secure our normal kitchen strainer.

The arms slide out to accommodate different bucket sizes.

You can also get nice, big strainers at a restaurant supply store.
Restaurant Equippers chain store sells em. Great prices there too.
@GreenEnvy22 - good find!

BTW....if anybody has a need for restaurant quality equipment and your not in a rush...Im usually pulling my companies equipment out of failed restaurants in nyc a few time a week..they usually auction off the entire contents of these places and equipment can be had on the cheap....got a 90 bottle rack from a nice wine bar for 20 bux last month...check live auction websites for places in your area
