Providing winemaking supplies, grapes, juices (plus brewing supplies) for amateur winemakers
since 1978.
Update on ripening: Ripening is occurring at an accelerated pace with flavors bursting out. Acids are moderate and sugars are moderate to normal. We try to
pick by pH, flavor, fruit condition, brix and projected weather.

Sorry to be late with numbers this year. Indian summer definitely saved the day with nicer numbers this year! Thank you for your
patience.

Baron’s Blend is a blend of Chancellor, Baco, Foch, and Leon Millot. A dark hearty bodied Bordeaux
style.
Prince’s Blend is a blend of Foch, Leon Millot, and maybe Chancellor. A medium bodied, complex Burgundy
style. This was cancelled this year due to crop loss of major components.
Maiden's Blush is a fruity wine best finished with a little residual sugar. It is a blend of Aurore,
Cayuga, usually Chelois, however, due to that shortage, Tom used another red to color. While it looks dark in your container, it should lighten with fermentation. We usually recommend a
71B or Cotes des Blanc for this wine.
White Blend is a combination of Seyval, Vignoles and Aurore. All blends are sugar and acid adjusted.
The percentages vary, the order the varieties are listed in not necessary in order of volume of those juices used.
Thank you for your Patronage!
May all your wines
Fall Bright!
