Anyone in CA confirm this?

How will this affect the home winemaker?

Last year there was an article in the local paper (Niagara Ontario Canada) about growers not being able to sell their grapes. One guy here told me that it happens every year. No indication about quality history of the vineyards.

I know that there are several small vineyards around here that look very neglected. But who knows what variety they are.

I wonder if that will reflect out in consumer prices. I read something of the opposite that because fuel had gone up expect the fruti being shipped in to be a little more this year - who knows

As far as fule goes it's cheaper now compared to same time last year.
