Hey pork chop, I see your jumping right into it man- good deal. Ive been kinda busy and haven’t put any thought into spring grapes yet. What’s your game plan?
What are your plans for the spring harvest?

Well...been checking with corrados as to the availability of grapes...they a sure me they will have, but no pricing til april...
Getting some new equipment, got 2 54l demijohns and I've been talking a lot to my customers that own Italian restaurants, the majority make wine as well and one of them has a #40 press and crush/destemmer hes selling...
If the corrados scene doesnt pan out I may have to check out the Pintos place you guys goto near philly...
But yeah....I'm all in and my wife hates it...lol

Lol. Yep. Sounds about right
AJ, you have to call them.
I posted their price sheet a few pages back if you didn't find it, see the link.

De winterizing only requires a start up doesn't it?
I'm seeing many on this thread are near enough to the Poconos to attend the Split Rock meet up. We still need 4 more commitments to get the group rate. You won't regret it.

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
Looks like a fun way to learn!
PA, MD, and VA guys - not sure how close this is to you, but my LHBS just started taking orders for Chilean juice:
Annapolis Homebrew is getting Chilean juice in the spring via pre-order until 4/1. Looks like $60 for 6.25 gallons.
https://www.annapolishomebrew.com/chilean-wine-juices
So they're taking orders for the next couple of weeks and delivery is mid-April.

There are a couple places in the Chicago area that are having a group buy for Chilean juice and grapes.
I'm now thinking this one, never heard of it before but sounds like a nice Chilean blend. Plus this store is like 2 miles from my house.

Here's the order form for Annapolis Homebrew:
Not sure if this a repost or not- but I got the email from keystone a few days ago for Chileans

I got an email from Lancaster Homebrew, if anyone is closer to them. Chilean, juices only, order by April 25th, delivery the morning of May 7th. No refrigeration available at the shop, so pickup is that day. Buckets cost $73, which is a bit more than Annapolis, but later ordering.
