Trouble in Napa Valley for grape growers

[Snafflebit]

Desperate California wine growers are slashing prices on grapes. No one is buying

2024 could be a great year for grape purchases (or even a vineyard).

Graul prefers to sell, maybe to an untraditional buyer, like a hobbyist home winemaker who can “purchase small lots of premium Napa Valley Cabernet at very affordable prices that are not likely to repeat themselves in the future,”

That article is making a big deal out of something that is not true, I have spoken to tons of growers this year. People were getting really solid prices this year for good grapes. Heck one of the best vineyards in my region sold out of merlot at a record $2800 a ton
