Anybody live near Manteca, California?
Delicato Vineyards (Winery) in Manteca, Ca sells fresh blended juice each September to home winemakers. This year it is September 19-28th. 10 days only.
They have a blend red and a blend white for $3.10 per gallon. Quantities from 1 gallon to 200 gallons.
Last year the blend was: (here is a copy of their email to me)
"We do sell live grape juice for 10 days in September: 19th - 28th.The
pumps open at 9am and close at 4:30pm each day.You may purchase any quantity from 1 gallon to 200 gallons.We do not offer specific
varietals but a blend that our winemakers put together each season.
When you purchase your juice, we have the breakdown of the brix, pH, TA
and varieties used...we do not have the information ahead of time.Last
year the Red was 49% Zin, 33% Carignane and 18% Rubired for color; the
White was 85% French Colombard and 15% Symphony."
This is a 3 hour run for me so I am not sure but I probably will go and get some. I am thinking of a rubbermade 32 gallon 'brute' container each with 25 gallons. Then use this for the primary.
Wadda think?
