Hi Folks,
The southerners have agreed with Bob to do the grape run this year. This means that I am picking up the grapes on Friday morning and I think John (fatbloke) may meet me there if we can sort the timing.
I'll try and get an idea of which varieties we will have in the next few days but expect the normal ones. If you want white then last years Airen blew the Trebbiano away IMO - i'll bring a couple of bottles for sampling this year. This is what I think we have in numbers so far:
richard s 3 boxes
sisandrine 7 boxes
fatbloke 3 boxes
Lockwood1956 6 boxes
Neil 2 boxes
Rich 3 or 6 boxes
Delmonteman 6 boxes
Gaz9053 6 boxes
That's it so far (36-39 boxes). Still loads of time to get your orders in.
<Notes from Bob>
It isn't too late to attend, absolutely all are welcome. If you are thinking of doing it stop thinking and jump in, there is tons of help and support not to mention expertise available on the day and afterwards.
"he (supplier) says a vintage year, best grapes he has ever seen"
"pricing same or a little cheaper than last year" </Notes from Bob>
The van hire/fuel will be about £100 (approx) so about £3 per box. If we can get up to 40 boxes that's about £2.50 per box - encourage your friends.
I'll sort payments / bank details etc when we have the varieties available.
Everyone OK with that?
