After years of trying I think that this year I have managed to locate a
source of Sangiovese grapes becoming available tomorrow.
I must say that it was not due to my hard work, although I have spent hours
and the past searching the net for info. A chance connection on the Wine
press NG came up with another Yorkshire guy who had done all the hard work.
So tomorrow I hope to do my first small buy -- 10 cases of grapes at £5 a
case -- which should get me enough to make 5 gals ( imp) with about 50 lbs
left over in my freezer for adding to some of the kit wines I make.
It will be my first venture into "real grape" winemaking but I am looking
forward to the experience. Although only a small first go, I suspect that my
flat (apartment to you in the US) will be inundated with grapes, juice and a
general huge mess. At least it will be easier than destemming elderberries!

I will update this in a couple of days time!!!
