                Did I imagine it, or was there going to be two separate dates for future grapefests, depending on what was available at that time ?
                Or is that too much work ect ect ?

                  It may turn out that we can get south African Grapes in March, but thats still pie in the sky currently, but we shall see.

                      For some reason I thought it was two separate dates near September...

                      As luck would have it, I am working for next years Grapefest
                      I will have to wait until the turn of the year, to see if I can juggle a few dates about ....

                        must put this date in the diary and check the calendar at work so I can book the weekend off again 2011 GF was excellent, once we know what the grapes are gonna be I'll be hoping to try a Pyment and maybe I'll have even got my finger out my backside and blended and back sweetened some of the 18 or so gallons of "trad" sitting under the stairs ageing, for the post-GF drinkex......

                          Super - 22 Sept, but where? And times?

                          I've pulled up half a dozen threads but can't find these trivial details. Sorry to be so dim, please point me towards the post.

                            it will be basically the same format as before.....

                            all held (apart from the curry) at my place in Knottingley West Yorkshire, there are bed and breakfast places nearby ranging from £30 to £75, or you can bring a sleeping bag and sleep where you drop
                            meet the night before 21st sept for a curry at the ruchee (bring your own booze ....or jello shots like fatbloke)
                            Sat is grape processing day, will start around 10.am, leading into nightime of festivities (bring your own booze) get the chance to have a taste of everyone elses stuff, and get experienced opinion on your own stuff......or just get drunk!
                            sunday genral slow morning, picking up stuff left the night before, cups of tea and off home

                            Last year we ran talks through the day for anyone interested, we can do the same again if people would like it

                              It looks like I'm going to have to miss it this year . I'm working at Goodwood on the 22nd. My only option would be to go home after Goodwood, unload all my trackday gear, then head up to Yorkshire. Whatever I do I'll miss the grape processing.
