Harvest in the Vineyard!

We had some late frosts in May this spring. It did a lot of damage to the crop and we are becoming picked out of grapes about 2 weeks early this year.

Some of our grapes are winning awards by winemakers!

Richard Baron won an award at the Indy International Wine Competion at the Indiana State Fair for his 2007 St. Pepin.

Above are additional bottles that have been brought in by our customers. We thank them very much. It is always exciting to see what winemakers have done with our grapes.

Cap N Cork - Macomb Area

We just visited Art & Charlie at the Cap N Corkwinemaking supply store at 21 & Garfield. The have lots of new new & interesting wine & beermaking supplies available this year. They also mentioned that glass carboys are increasing in price a lot because they have to be shipped from Italy - better stock up now.

We have a whole listing of other winemaking supply shops at our Winemaking Resources page.....

We just received an email from Lum Eisenman that the link to his site, "The Home Winemakers Manual", has changed.

This is a really good site with a wealth of information about winemaking.
