HARVEST = GRAPES

1 - Cabernet and Syrah grapes are available for your picking.  I believe they are free; however, please call Linda Midkiff at 459-2445 for details.  The grapes are ripe now and need to be picked.   BTW, wine made from these grapes received at silver medal at the Mid-State Fair this year.

I have approx. 2 tons of Sangiovese (Brunello clone) for sale, which will make approx. 100 cases of wine.  Estimate it will be available to pick second week of September.  I'd like to sell it using the following pricing schedule:

1.  I pick and deliver:                                     $1.00/lb

2.  You pick and take it home:                      $  .75/lb

3.  We pick & make wine together:               $15.00 per gallon

     (you supply carboys   I supply everything else)

Thanks

4 - I have approximately 100 lbs of Pinot Noir grapes that I’d like to trade for wine – suggest a 50/50 split.

100 lbs will make about one 5 gal carboy which will make about 2 cases.  Grapes located in SLO.

Brix currently at 20. Will need to be picked in next week or two.

Please pass this word on to people who may be interested and contact me by email.

California's Central Coast: The Ultimate Winery Guide: From Santa Barbara to Paso Robles: Nearly two million people visit Central Coast wineries each year, drawn to the breathtaking scenery and stellar wines of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Due in part to the success of the Oscar-winning movie Sideways, the region has experienced a surge in popularity yet maintains its warm hospitality and low-key atmosphere. This entirely new installment in our popular series is the first illustrated book of its kind on this region. Stunning color photography makes the guide as evocative for armchair travelers as it is functional for those getting ready to hit the tasting rooms.
