I just emailed Gino's and they are sending the pricing out today. Their affiliate CFP already published theirs looks like $28 for the Chilean and $34 for S African. Can't remember how that compares to last year. Also they are adventising their SA as 18 lb lugs not 20.

I'm in the same boat. No more room if I want to make sure I carboys open for fall. Maybe a couple of 1 gl. frozen fruit wines.
Where is Corrado's, I can't seem to find them. If in New Jersey you can't find their pricing.

Always forget the 18lb lugs in spring. Make that 8 lugs of cab sauv I'll be doing. Those prices are up slightly I believe from last year.
Was wondering about you getting 4 lugs. Gino's prices just came in.
You can build a shelf to double stack the carboys and buy more in the fall or bottle some. Neither of the excuses are acceptable. LOL!

Prices seem the same as last year, but a little less variety. There were two sources of SA cab last year.
I thought so as well but the Stellenbosch is want I want.
In Clifton NJ. Pretty close to NYC. I bought my “family red” batch’s grapes there. Here’s my receipt from September.
And I recall JohnT talking about the spring grapes being very similarly priced to Pintos. Not sure if they are the same grapes tho like Pintos and Harford both sold.
Would Pinto's be closer to me?
Not sure

With no traffic Pinto's is about an hour closer but closer then I thought, under 3 hours. Pittsburg is 4 hours but with that times goes a rest stop so 4:30. Guess I'll see you at Gino Pinto's in May.
You can check with your local winery supply house to see if they have a listing of grape suppliers that support home winemakers. For instance in the South Bay of San Francisco:

Some commercial wineries that have on-premise vineyards have home Winemaker weekends where they destem into your containers which (as you know) cuts out a lot of the up front work.

Lol. That’s kinda funny to read. Just because you unknowingly responded to the damn king of scouring the Tri state area for local grapes, entire east coast—- hell Fred is a terminator when it comes to finding grape sources.

UGH just made a post in the general chit-chat forum. Keystone's Bethlehem location is closing meaning I have to make the long trip to Montgomeryville when I need grapes.

Is there anywhere DC/Baltimore /ish for spring grapes? I thought Keystone in Bethlehem would be a reasonable drive, I have family nearby. I have reasons for going to Pittsburgh, but those reasons make grape pickup difficult.

Keystone's other location in Mongomeryville is still open and if you coming from DC its actually closer.
