Hey folks,
It looks like there's a big chance I may be moving to the heart of Colorado's wine country in a couple of months. I have never made wine before and not really interested in purchasing lots of extra equipment. I would be interested in purchasing a small quantity of fresh-pressed grapes (5-10 gal) for wine and pyment. Care to share your experience with purchasing pressed grapes from the vineyard? I suppose the juice is sulphited? Prices?
Western Colorado is also a prime fruit-growing region with apples, pears, peaches, cherries and apricots being popular. Also interested in getting fresh-pressed cider as well. Can you give me an idea of prices?
Hopefully I can expect some great orchard honeys as well, and if nothing else, the move ought to benefit my meadmaking!
Thanks in advance,
Kirk
