there are now TWO (2!!!!!) commercial sources for verjuice that I know of. 

One is from Napa's Fusion Foods, PO Box 542, Rutherford California 94573,
at about $12 for a 750 ml bottle. DeLaurentis in Seattle carries it, as
well as Dean and DeLucca (the mail order yuppie food folks). They ahve it
in white and red.

we found a new kind on our 15th century re-enactment adventure. On the way
home, we stopped at Navarro Winery. They have verjuice! (also great grape
juice made from wine grapes. Yum!). They do mailorder, Navarro Vineyards,
5601 Hwy 128, Philo, CA 95466. Phone 1-800-537-9463.

Navarros verjuice is not as ascerbic as Fusion Foods, and is quite tasty
and palatable on its own, I thought. As well as being WAY cheaper at about
$8 for a 750 ml bottle! we ordered a case...:)

hope this helps...
