Just in case someone has a good answer for this and missed my other thread,
Does anyone know of a good source for fresh grapes in Portland, OR? I want to step up from kits this year. I live in the Wilamette Valley, and want to make an Oregon Pinot. There are a few local shops that do fresh grapes, but all of them come in from the Yakima Valley AVA. Nice, but not what I'm after. Brehm is local, but they only do frozen juice pails, 5 gallons instead of the 6 that I need, and nothing from the Wilammette valley AVA. I have a friend that is the marketing director for one of the big wineries in town, and he has been calling his friends for a week now, with no success. Tons of places are happy to give me a ton or two, but the request for 200lbs is falling on deaf ears.
Any ideas?
