Whether you're bottling this year's batch or a previous vintage, come to Northeast Produce Wine Making to pick up the right bottles, corks and seals for your homemade wine.

Wine Grapes and Juice are in, call to reserve your favorite selection.

Mike and Joe just got back from their annual buying trip from the California vineyards. The photos to the left are of the actual vineyards we buy from. Hand selected, quality grapes you’ve come to expect. After speaking with the growers and shippers and inspecting the fields . . .
 
Mike reports. . . .
The yields appear to be light, and the wineries out here are buying up what they can driving the prices higher. The wine grapes will probably start arriving around the 12th of September. We’ll have a good selection of wine grapes by the 16th-18th and juice by the 15th.
 
Joe’s observations . . .
A lot of rain and cooler spring has resulted in a lighter crop, which means less product so higher pricing and later picking. However, they have had drier weather the past couple weeks which is bringing the sugar along good....less grapes on vine yielding lower tonnage and better grape. Also, price should remain stronger and higher than last year..high demand by wineries and much buying overseas due to weak dollar.
