Yesterday we had the opportunity to visit S & S Winegrapes & Equipment Co, a family-owned business that is very supportive of home winemakers. It won’t be long before the refrigerated warehouse in Baltimore will be filled with California grapes available for purchase by home winemakers. Customers come from as far away as Virginia and Pennsylvania.

While at S &S Winegrapes we had the opportunity to taste some of the home winemakers’ wines. Of the two, I tried they were wonderful. Of course, what was just as important was the camaraderie among the home winemakers and despite the fact that we were new to S & S Winegrapes, everyone greeted us like old friends.

If you are interested in obtaining grapes and making wine at home, contact S & S Winegrapes for details about the grape varietals that will soon be available for purchase.

Cheers! Kathy
