September 4, 2026 · Friday harvest capacity screen

Friday custom crush capacity screens need a decision-ready harvest brief.

By Friday, September 4, growers and brands should send a concise harvest brief: fruit status, tons by varietal, expected pick window, services needed, storage needs, and who can approve next steps before weekend harvest decisions lock in.

What to send today

Five Friday details turn a vague September request into a usable capacity screen.

Pick-date confidence

Exact pick date, likely weekend or September window, or the next chemistry/sample date that will trigger the call.

Tonnage pressure

Tons by varietal, separate lots, red/white/rosé split, and whether volume could arrive higher than expected.

Required cellar path

Receiving, crush/destem, pressing, fermentation management, tank hold, barrel aging, storage, bottling coordination, or full-service production.

Storage or bottling deadline

Any tank-hold, barrel, cold storage, dry goods, mobile bottling, or release-date constraint that affects fit.

Approval speed

Who can approve fit, scope, minimums, and timing today before weekend harvest work compresses the calendar.

Request a September 4 screen

Send a current range before capacity gets tighter.

The best Friday note format is: varietal / tons / pick date or range / fruit source / services needed / storage or bottling deadline / approval contact. If fruit may move over the weekend, submit details and call after sending.

Planning link: compare your timing against the September capacity review.

Urgent link: use the same-day screen if fruit is already scheduled.

Check Harvest Availability

Our next crush begins in August 2027. Tell us your volume, fruit status, production window, and services needed. Add the optional planning details if you know them; you do not need a finalized production plan to ask about fit. If fruit is moving within 7 days, submit your details and call (951) 410-8388.

1. Volume / tons
2. Fruit status
3. Pick window
4. Services needed
What happens next: we review your requested timing, tanks, labor, storage, and cellar scope. Submitting a request does not reserve capacity or confirm a receiving appointment. Wait for direct confirmation before scheduling delivery.

7 required details remain. Everything else is optional. Your progress is saved in this browser tab until you submit or close it.

Use a complete address, such as name@example.com, so we can reply to your quote request.

Optional. Add a complete number if you want a call; email is enough to request a review.

Choose a suggested range or type your own tons, gallons, or case target. If undecided, choose “Need help estimating.”

Optional. Add a bottling deadline, launch month, or exact pick date if one is already set.

This separates ready-to-schedule fruit from sourcing, private-label, or feasibility requests.

This helps us prioritize urgent harvest capacity requests and route exploratory projects correctly.

Working with bulk wine or a private label? Choose the no-grape-pick option. Still exploring? Choose timing undecided.

Services Needed *

Choose at least one. Relevant services may be preselected from the page you visited; review or change them before sending. If you are unsure, choose Not sure / need guidance.

Optional. This helps us understand which custom-crush resources and referrals bring qualified projects to us.

No spam. We use this to screen project fit, 2027 capacity, services needed, and the fastest next step.

FAQ

What makes a September 4 inquiry easier to screen?+

Include phone number, fruit status, vineyard or source area, tons by varietal, expected pick date or date range, services needed, storage expectations, and whether you can approve quickly if capacity fits.

Should I wait until the pick date is final?+

No. Send the current range and the factor that will decide the pick date. During September harvest, an early capacity screen is more useful than a perfect inquiry that arrives too late.

Can this help with fermentation space only?+

Yes. Use the form for targeted gaps such as fermentation tanks, pressing, storage, barrel aging, lab work, or bottling coordination as well as full custom-crush production.
