2010 JUICE LIST: Updated Aug 26, 2010 - 8.30am *Winemaker's Update - Thursday, August 26* I was out in the vineyards scouting the past few days and am very excited for this year!! Grapes look beautiful with verasion (color change) occurring or almost complete  in every vineyard I looked at.  The flavors are already existent in some of the grapes that I sampled. This is going to be an outstanding year this year. We have had a little bit of rain the past few days which has plumped up the berries a little bit. It was just enough to take a little stress off the vines, as long as we stay hot and dry until  harvest we will be very happy. It is shaping up to be a vintage year here in the Lake Erie grape growing region. So hurry up and get your orders in to be assured your part of this tremendous year. Kris Kane, PIWC Winemaker Our Product: The key to making good wine is starting with good grapes. We purchase our fruit from the best local and regional growers and our winemaker and staff are actively involved in year-round partnership with our grower communitiy to maintain the highest quality standards in viticulture and handling and processing the grapes. We believe in establishing strong relationships with our growers and insist on a commitment to quality practices from all growers with whom we continue to do business. We stand by our growers who maintain that commitment and move on from those who don't. This approach provides a consistent supply of quality fruit for our customers and for us and a consistent and reliable market for our growers. We are proud that many of our growers have been with us for years.
