What did you get? what do they chg in CT

 

[ugh]

I got 1 malbec and 1 zinfandel.I paid 98 for them both.

 

[Tom]

Good price. I thought it would be more in CT than in NJ

 

[ugh]

Why, You paid more ? I have always gotten good prices at Cali Bros.

 

[Tom]

I get my juice from NJ and they are a couple of dollars less (92) for the same you got. I used to live in Stamford and know the standard of living is hihger there.

Just like anywhere, there are places that cost much more and some much less. I get my kits at another place in Waterbury Ct. and with the exception of probably Canada as thats where most of these kits are made I bet not too many can beat the prices I get them over here!

 

[Skyhawk]

Speaking of Canada, errr.. specifically Ottawa Ontario, does anyone know of a source for fresh Chilean juices here right now?

 

[Tom]

Well I got my Chilean juice and today I reacked to the secondary.
That means I am back up to 26 6-gallon carboys aging or fermenting. Oh yea, Fruit season is starting soon... Hmm need more carboys only 6 empty + some 5-gallon ones.

[Tom]

Should come out better than all juice i'm sure. What grape did you use for the Pinot Noir? I noticed that grape was not available. See you Sunday @ the wine club meeting.

6 gal @ of Carnenere & Cianti from Genos in Hammonton.

 

[Lurker]

Did anyone check the Ph, my Cianti was 3.52.

Hey Lurker WELCOME !
I get mine from there too. Do you belong to a wine club? If not I run one in S. Jersey. A large club that gets 25-30 in a monthly meeting. We range from beginers to members who have their own vineyard.
