Ok, worst post title ever. The book wasn’t even about grapes…anyway…we went grape picking last weekend! A vineyard about 30 minutes south of us had juice and upick grapes for sale so we bought some Aurora, Niagara and Moores Diamond juice along with Niagara grapes. I had no idea there were so many varieties or that wine is named after the type of grape it’s mostly made from. So a Riesling wine is made of mostly Riesling grapes. That one is actually way out of our budget at $17.95/gallon. The juice we got runs about $4-6 a gallon. Upick grapes were super cheap though, our Niagara grapes were .35/lb.
Ben had a ton of fun eating and picking. We strolled around the vineyard for a bit too and just enjoyed the little family outing. Next week we’ll return and pick up some Concord grape juice and Concord grapes.
