Awe....... thank you so much, everyone!! I truly appreciate it. I am going to try to make it to a WineStock Dinner/wine tasting. I would love to start making again. It has been over a year.

Thanks Masta. Oh, it worked out, as much as it is going to. My daughter was the victim of a crime, and we had to go through the legal process. Trust me, that is a long, hard road.

Thanks so much!! I am in awe of all that you have been doing on your vineyard. You are truly blessed to have such a beautiful piece of land. Family things are always hard, and this one has been a whole other level. But, with that behind us, I have been thinking about starting a new batch...

Well, I know it's been a million years years since I have been on. I hope all is well and I look forward to hearing from those of you that I have not spoken to in forever. We had a very traumatic family issue, that has pretty much taken over my life. So, I haven't been making any wine (but I've...

On my Rosso that I'm making, the grapes went into a straining bag and I stirred 2 x day. Made racking a snap!

OK, the water in Texas right now taste and smells like a stinky dirty lake! Now that I have that off my chest. I always use bottled spring water. I wish it could be Evian, but it is normally the store brand. I have a great filter on my fridge that I could use, but it is slow and I can't...

I'm quite sure that "thingy" and "stuff" came from one of my post However, I would not want to age in plastic bags or carboys, as I would be afraid that the wine might absorb a plastic like taste. But, this is coming from the girl that doesn't like to put sandwiches in plastic sandwich bags...

Peter~ I do like that wallet theory!

Awe Man!! I thought maybe I had discovered a way to make wine multiply

We always had a lake house up there growing up. Amazing. Lake Lavon is really down too. Also, when we went to Tulsa, OK, for ballet camp (my daughter, not me), the Arkansas river, which is huge, was so low, you could walk on the sandy soil, all the way across.

Well, I came home from vacation to find that my air conditioner had stopped working while on vacation. Now, if that doesn't throw you back into reality, I don't know what does. My house was floating between 85-90 degrees, not bad since it was like 108 outside. Anywho, I noticed that in my...

Looks great Bill!!

AngelWine! Look at the cute pic of you and the Misses with the kids. And look at that set up of oak barrels. You know, Karl and I are in Allen, we'd love to come and check out ya'll set up.....................

Well, I haven't been on the ol' forum in quite some time. I hope everyone is having a great summer and doing well. Things are settling down a bit, so I am sure you will be hearing much more of me. Take care- Donna

I bottle from the primary with the spigot as mentioned. I have never had any issues.

Yes, I would like to see the overall popularity!

Beautiful!!!

Yumm... Bill's rasberry wine was "off the hook"!!! I dream of it often!!

Winesnob- I don't use an airlock on my primary either, only when I move over to my carboy. Oh, and do you have water or k-meta in your airlock?? I think it may be adviseable to use k-meta, as there is a less chance of it growning things in it(at least that's what I do). Also, if your water is...
