I'm in need of a grape skin pack to put in a Carmenere juice bucket I'm getting in a couple of weeks. Goerge (FVW) only carries the Cabernet and Syrah packs. I just ordered the Cabernet but he is out of stock and doesn't know when he's getting them. The forums are not recommending the Syrah as it would add too much spice to the wine.
Does anyone know where I can get either a Carmenere, Cabernet or Merlot grape pack. I've tried several vendors to no avail. Thanks in advance for your help.
 
You cant get those skins. Just the cab and Syrah are available. Why not get a lug if Carmenere grapes. Thats what I got ordered.
 
Yeah, Tom, I guess I could. I just wanted to use the "KISS" method since this is my first juice bucket. Besides, being a rookie, I wouldn't know how to proceed with a lug of grapes anyway. Thanks for the suggeston anyway.

SIMPLE:

Take your socks off after you destem... :dg=:d while doing it
 
Too funny, Tom. I could leave my socks on and use them for the bag to hold the skins. :s
 
There's a place local to me that sells grape skin packs which are equal parts sangiovese, merlot and cab sauv. While they will ship within Canada, I don't know if they ship to the US... They are listed here (scroll down a bit) as Varietal Grape Skins CrushPack.

I may go with these instead of the CC Cabernet Sauvignon my self.
