Some of you know that for a number of years I have coordinated a small group buy of fresh pressed California wine grape juice. The year BJ Haun (wjhaun@gmail.com) is coordinating the small group buy. Our portion is piggybacked on a larger buy that generally includes hundreds of buckets of juice for a large number of MN based wine makers. The juice can be used to make pretty good wines or even used to make pyments (grape mead). It is even very good grape juice for just drinking unfermented. The stuff arrives chilled but you need to be prepared to use it within a few days unless you can freeze it.

The juice comes to MN in 6 gallon buckets - white buckets similar to the fermenter buckets sold by the HB stores. The juice is transported from California to MN via a refrigerated truck and delivered to a cold warehouse in Eden Prairie.
