Syrah grapes for harvest in Lafayette

    Alas I have no plans for my grapes this year – Syrah, guestimating about 500lbs max (possibly less).  Wondering (a) if anyone else also has less than a barrel’s worth and wants to pool together or (b) failing that, if anyone just wants to come harvest them for yourself?

    Hi Rebecca,

    Would love to talk with you–maybe we can pool together?  I have 180 vines of cabernet in Orinda.  May we connect by email to see if we can work together?  I’m at latikamalkani@gmail.com.  Thank you! Latika Malkani (Cardozo Family Vineyards)

    Hi there,

    We have 120 Cabernet vines with a lower yield this year, perhaps 600-700 pounds in Lafayette. Between the three of us we may have 2 barrels:). My email is schkayt@yahoo.com. Hoping to harvest later this week.

    OOPS …. Now seeing your post is from LAST YEAR.  Sorry about that but if you guys did team up last year and are looking for more grapes we have around 300 vines of mostly Syrah, with very low yield – I think only about 75 vines have hearty grapes.  We just bought our home in Orinda in April (moved just down the road so have lived in Orinda 19 years) and are very late to the game with hiring a vineyard manager etc. as busy moving and then having a wedding at the house in August.  Our vineyard manager says our grapes will be ready in a week and we have no idea what to do with them (previous owner took them up to Napa). We’d love to join resources and I will reach out now but also feel free to contact me too.
