You need Cabernet grapes to make Cabernet wine, a quick Google search will help you find an online retailer. For us Yankees it’s no more than 2 hours driving time on either direction in order to find a distributor/wine/beer brewing supply shop.

I get my grapes at Corrado’s in New Jersey, it takes me about two hours to get there depending on the traffic. The shop is huge and they will have more than fifty variety of grapes, a truly a brewers paradise.

At any rate, I like a blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon w/ 30% Merlot. One box of 36lbs of grapes will yield apprx. 2.5 gls of wine. So before getting your grapes and rinsing the crap of of them with cold water to cool them down…..Stop. Do yourself a huge favor, read a good book on wine making, or read on line various articles on the subject.

Learning the scientific process of fermentation, temperatures, hygiene, equipment, do’s and don’ts will play a big rode at the end; good VS low quality wine or worse…vinegar. :o

This is a skipper year for me, last year’s wine is still aging in bulk with French oak chips in it. I’ll bottle it in a month or so for further bouquet and flavor enhancement. Then is PARTY TIME!!!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D
