I was just sent this article from last year about procacci Bros, the place where my family has gotten our juice & grapes & equipment for generations. And I've made it a point to continue to purchase here every fall and keep that family tradition alive.

I love this place, and reading it just made me that much more anxious for September. With last years wine put out for tasting alongside the meats, breads and cheeses amid all the chaos. Also, I now know where our "**** red" recipe came from, and also know that I've been making it wrong, neglecting the Thompson seedless grapes.
I'm already decided on my fall grape varietals, but maybe I'll try and convince a family member to finance a small batch of the **** red and I'll make that too.
Does anyone else have longstanding family traditions with winemaking in the fall?
