There is a group of 3 of us that are pooling our grapes together – two Cabs and one Syrah.  We are planning to sign on with Judd’s Hill to make our wine – on the verge of signing the contract right now actually.  If you are interested in a quick chat about joining us, feel free to reach out – rebeccastafford@gmail.com

It is going to be a little bit of a hat trick to coordinate timing of harvest and getting the grapes to them simultaneously, but not impossible we hope.  Basically we have to deliver at least a barrel-worth at a time.  We are currently guesstimating that we may have as much as two barrels, but timing of ripening is not all equal, so we may do one and then another (on same contract).

Hi Kay –

There is a vineyard caretaker in the area named Dylan Rahn who a number of us seem to use, and who’s sister Hannah is a winemaker.  She’d offered to do an “LWGA blend” if enough of us had been interested, and Eero did sign up with her, but he has enough to do his own grapes only and not blend with anyone else.  I am interested in banding together with others, but my understanding is that no one else raised their hand this year.  I guestimate that I have ~500lbs of grapes this year (I have 140 vines, but some of them don’t look very full I don’t think). If you have another couple hundred or so we could possibly pool together if you are interested. (Assuming it is not too late to sign up with Hannah.)
