Fall 2017 grape prices

[TXWineDuo]

@ibglowin only 5 1/2 hours South East to the Lubbock / Brownfield area for some Texas grapes!! Now if only our grape budget could magically grow so we could help bulk up on a purchase from these vineyards.

There was an interesting article in the San Antonio Express newspaper just a few days ago about the problems the vineyard managers are having in the panhandle area with overspray from the cotton growers in the area. Cotton is still king in that area and they don't seem to care much about wind drift. I suspect a few lawsuits (lost) will change that thinking pretty fast though.

The Bingham Family Vineyards is certified organic in peanuts and cotton but not the grapes he said it is too hard. He says they use similar organic practices and has mentioned about the overspray problems around Lubbock area. There is one vineyard in the area that has just under 1,000 acres, I bet they are trying to get something done too.
