My first car! I couldn’t personally afford it, so my girlfriend and I bought it together. She was able to get the loan, I was able to make the payments, 46 years later we’re still setting and making goals. She loves my wine, I love her attitude. . Life is grant!

Try the Island Mist sangrias. Great for summer afternoons on the deck or the beach. Ready to drink in about six weeks.

Joe, I just want to thank you. I have learned so much from your posts. I very much appreciate your insights.

Just finished bottling 15 gallons of my wine using the all in one wine pump. The entire process, from sanitizing the bottles through cleanup took about 2 1/2 hours. What a great addition to my wine making tool kit. Thanks, Steve.

Do you remember which winery in Stevensville that you found the red currant wine?

I made this kit in early 2019. It is a very nice kit, and until recently was sold out. After seeing this thread, I bought two kits. i agree with Craig, a bit more whisky labor would be nice, but it is a fine kit as is.

My first sip, a little more than an hour ago, was a bit disappointing. Nice bouquet and flavour, but a tad “spritzy” on the tongue. Allowing...

https://www.winemakingtalk.com/members/opus345.24531/ ive got two batches of WE Forza in the primary fermenters, now. Plan to rack them in the next few days, with my all in one wine pump. I want to rack once more before I head south for the winter, so they can mellow while I enjoy the south...

Love the label. How’s the wine?

I received my all in one wine pump as a gift from my wife, for Christmas. She coordinated with a friend that owns one of Steve’s pumps, so I wasn’t completely aware of all of the accessories that she purchased. I have now racked two carboys, degassing the wine in the process, and today I...
