Any one getting Chilean grapes or juice?

I am getting some Malbec from MdCrush but I
think they are coming from Argentina. *The
should be here the end of the month or first
of May. *If they are good, I may ramp up my
production next year. *April - May is a good
time for me to bottle some of my local wines
so I will have carboys empty
I'm getting a pail of Chardonnay from Chile
in mid May; we will see.
The grapes were too pricey, over $1/#. *If i
knew they were premium grapes that would be
one thing, i just have no visibility to that.

Joe, the going rate for locally grown here in
Central Maryland is already over $1.00 per
pound. I started off paying about $.75 several
years ago but now the cheapest is $1.00 per
pound with most charging over that.
The Central valley California grapes sold
through S&S in Baltimore sell for slightly less
but it is way too high brix for me.
Of course, if I had to total my cost for
growing my own last year - $1.00 would be a
bargain. Spring freeze was disastrous for me.
Of course, there are some that think that
because you grow your own that they are "free"

I am glad to hear that someone found them at a
reasonable price. I was not able to find them at
anything close to reasonable, so I opted for
some juice which was much more reasonable. Where
did you get the reasonable price?
I am getting my South American grapes from
