Brian, if they're selling their refrigerators you might be able to make the best of it. Never been there but other fixtures might be helpful as well. Down our way we went through the same issue last year with Harford closing. As it turns out we found multiple other sources we never would have looked for otherwise. Good luck!

Well when it gets closer to April/May I'd love to see where everyone is getting their grapes.I want the best quality I can get. I'm really thinking of trying Procacci once, there is an LHBS up by where I grew up called Catinos and on Saturday mornings its a bunch of older Italian guys sitting around drinking wine and eating cheese. Its awesome

Also Keystone dells 1/4 ton bins that would be great for a group buy

I just Googled Cantino's and one of the headings read permanently closed and don't think Procacci does spring grapes. Also not sure if Keystone offers the 1/4 ton bins in the spring. Our options are limited for spring grapes.

Sorry missed this message Fred, Yes it appears Procacci does not do spring grapes bummer. I know Keystone does Chilean and South African grapes and Weak Knee Homebrew in Pottstown does also (I love that place, great bunch of people there). BTW my 2017 Chilean Pinot Noir is really shaping up to be a decent wine and I got the grapes from Weak Knee.

What you read about Catino's is their candy store next door is closed, Catino Vino is still open and thriving. They don't have a web presence but are active on Facebook. They don't get spring grapes but there is where I got the Walker Juice (Noriet -its going in that 30 liter barrel I'm getting from you) plus they have the best prices on bottles anywhere

I can't believe the bottle price at Weak Knee. Even though a drive it's nice to know of all the different options. Thanks for this.

I just mentioned Weak Knee because its south of here in the Pottstown area and I know the direction you are coming from. Like I mentioned they are a GREAT bunch of guys there. I'm ordering 7 lugs of Carmenere to go in my 25 liter barrel.

Thanks very much for mentioning them, I hadn't heard of them before. Much more convenient for me to get to. I think I'll try getting some juice, last grape order was yesterday.
