Hi All,

Does anyone know of anyone selling white wine grapes in Northern California in 2022? If I can be picky I am looking for Viognier or Pinot Gris, but am open to what is available. I use Cal Wine Broker for reds, but last year he only offered one pick of Chardonnay and I picked red on the same weekend.
 
There are these guys in Pleasanton who advertise on Craigslist: Fresh Wine Grapes for Sale from California for Wine Making on their website they list Chard and Sauv Blanc, but on Craigslist so far only reds are listed. I have no experience with them (only with Michael at Cal Wine Broker and I only do reds). I'm guessing these might be the folks who Michael doesn't like as they seem to suggest Pleasanton and Livermore are better than Brentwood, they also charge more / #.

Otherwise maybe look at the wine making club sites around you and further out toward Sacramento and foothills for possible offers?
 
Gilmango,
Thanks for the feedback. I have been watching Craig's list. and do work with Michael. I also have friends up in Suisun Valley so will be asking around there too.
