I'm in!!! I think it would be a great time to get together with a group of wine-makers in the 'Southern Burbs' of Denver to either form some type of club, or simply put together a co-op to buy grapes, equipment, or whatever to make and consume some great wines. Anyone?

Mark,
I met several Denver area winemakers at Wine Fest last month that were talking about forming a wine co-op. This was before this web page existed. Hopefully some will see it and get in touch with you.
making wine with a group is a blast. I know as I've been making wine this way for 22 years. Our group is at capacity we literally have no more room for any new members. We have a waiting list which is a nice positon to be in. That said I'll try to help you in any way that I can.

Cameron,
We have no room. Fact is we had to buy four new tanks just to handle what our members wanted this year. A nice position to be in.
Not sure Courtney has a mailing list. He did buy a lot of grapes form us this fall. You might send him an e-mail

Any new news on either a group or co-op in the southern communities??? We would love to get together with other people to form a new co-op if there is no room in any others. What a good way to get more experience and meet new people all the while getting better prices on goods for this exciting hobby/endeavor.
