Fresh grapes - delivered

[BernardSmith]

Does anyone know of anyone who delivers a few lugs (say 72 - 108 lbs) of fresh (not frozen nor juice) grapes in the NE (upstate NY) Looking for Riesling or Gewurztraminer this fall. Thanks

check with local wine supply store

My LHBS closed a few months ago. The owner retired. But I am checking with nearby ones although they have not returned my calls.

look in the Hammondsport area newspapers and you should be able to find what you are looking for.

Hazelmere, Would an upstate vineyard grow Gewurztraminer grapes?

There is a place that delivers on railroad street in Albany. I don’t know the name right now but you have to get your order in on time.

Gewurztraminer is grown commonly in the Finger Lakes. I toured the Keuka Lake Wine Trail last Wednesday and most had a Gewurztraminer.

Fulkerson's sells a wide variety of grapes & juice, including Gewurztraminer. They may not deliver, but it's roughly 3.5 hours from Saratoga Springs, a good excuse for a winery tour. There's a lot of wineries on the west side of Seneca Lake.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will check 'em out. Don't have the time this summer to do a tour of the Finger Lakes.

Musto is another choice -- they sell NY juice, plus west coast and Italian grapes and juice. They're about 2.5 hours away from you. They do ship, but it's not cheap. Their fall grape list was just published.

Thank you, I am in conversation with Musto
