Corrado? Another possible grape supplier

Ran into big David from up the block.  They just crushed yesterday morning - 26 crates - down on 4th Ave.  Got a direct delivery there from Corrado out of Clifton New Jersey, 30 bucks.  Said they have all sorts of varietals out of CA and that the quality of the grapes was much better than what they got last year from Terminal Market in BKLYN.  (Don't know if they bought from Lapide or Pagano last year.  Do know that in any given year we've had grapes of one variety look great and another be badly molded on the same day.)  Anyway, David is high on Corrado, thinks they move a lot of grapes, knows they deliver t the home cheaply.  I'll call them.  If they have Paso Robles or WA grapes we might be back to a weekend delivery schedule and no drop-ship pickups.

Web presence is not helpful.  Don't think they advertise in Wine Maker Mag.
