Bottled 2 batches of Strawberry Margarita and 2 batches of Mojito last week. The Mojito is good but has no fizz like a real Mojito. Solution: Added Club Soda to the glass and solved the problem. Much easier than making a Mojito from scratch. Since we have peppermint in the garden, I throw a...

Has anyone ever made or even tasted Ginseng Wine? What is it like? I'm looking for a recipe as it looks like I have a source for Ginseng. So..... why not?

We have/had blueberries, red raspberries, blackberries, rhubarb, sour cherries, peaches, strawberries for two different recipes and yes.... dandelion petals!!!

How many fruits do you have in your freezer waiting to be made into wine? OK... go ahead and include your dandelion petals!

We have 10-6 gallons, 4-5 gallons, 2 3-gallons and about 10 1-gallon jugs. That's just plain crazy!...no matter how you look at it. Especially when they are full more than they are empty at any time of the year!

Our favorites are Malbec and Traminette! Of course, Barolo rates right up there also!

Thanks Pelican, but ironically, that's exactly the way my RGC is packaged... in liter size, in a bag/with a cap like the wine kits come in.... not in a bottle.

Thanks, Wade. So I'm on the right track with thinking raisins. I do have some red grape concentrate. We used it in our Blueberry Wine. Does that have a shelf life? We only made a gallon and only used a cup of the concentrate. Never used it before. Didn't know if we should refrigerate after...

We've made both the Blueberry Pinot Noir and the Green Apple Riesling by using half the F-pack in the primary. We did not add any extra sugar. The flavor is good however, the results is a little 'thin'. Does that four pounds of sugar syrup help to give it more body? I was thinking perhaps using...
