Supplies of grapes are still strong thanks to a combination of California supplies as well as imports.
“There are good supplies of California grapes through the end of this month and into January. I doubt we’ll have any by the end of January but this month we’ll still have plentiful supplies. It’s a normal timing for us to finish,” says Jim Beagle of Grapery based in Shafter, CA. He adds that the volume looks similar to last year at this time. “I was thinking all along it might be slightly down, but it looks like it’s going to come in pretty close to last year,” says Beagle.
