It is muscadine picking time

[toddrod]

Picked 160 pounds of bronze and purple today. Gave away another 120 lbs and have another 200-250lbs left on the vines. Now I have to figure out what blends I will be making this year.

started up 1 gallon starters each of Lalvin 71B and KV116 today in preparation for some serious crushing and fermenting next week.

was born in Laplace...are you growing those there..are they wild....If so..what is the chance of buying some from you next year...Thanks.

 

[toddrod]

These are cultivars, not wild. If you are in the area next year you could stop by and just pick some up.

James, todd was sooooo nice to give me 12 gallons. I am like a kid at Christmas.
