grapes & juice in Richmond VA

[winemaker81]

Gino Pinto is selling grapes & juice in the Richmond VA area. They don't have a storefront, which they apparently have in NJ, so you have to call the NJ number and place an order for pickup.

In the fall they sell CA grapes and juice, and Italian juice.

I was sent a price list, and while the availability dates are not set, my understanding is that we can order the CA grapes & juice and Italian juice now. The woman I spoke with (Tina) was informative.

Could you post that list? I think the person on the phone didn’t get my email address correct. I am sure they are gone for the night and message never got here. I downloaded the juice price list from their website, why grapes aren't there I do not understand.

Attached are the grape and juice lists.

I'm excited, as they sell Verdicchio juice. I made a kit a few years ago and never expected to find the juice. If all goes well, I'll try 6 gallons.

Anyone know the pickup location in Richmond?

My understanding is the pickup point is in Ashland, just off I-95 north of Richmond. This is near where I-295 crosses I-95.

You'll need to get the exact address when ordering.

Verdicchio is exactly what I am looking for as well! CFP Winemakers in Pittsburgh and Gino Pinto are the places that get it. I don't know why the other places importing Italian juice have limited types down to 12~ from 18~.
Timing is weird for me, still may not do anything from Italy til next year.
