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" ha ha ha.- Hide quoted text -

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?
