Will be going to Sanoma for one day 12/8 to visit some wineries. Does anyone have any suggestions on which are the better ones to see?

I have used them several times with good success. They have a list of juices 10 red and 5 white 6 gal buckets. Orders must be in by 4/3 and pickup around 4/27. They also sell wine grapes.

Juice buckets Mecurio's has juice buckets in Columbus

Add me to the list.

I bought a 6 foot kitchen cabinet and made a wine working area out of it. The center drawer were the sink would go is just a blank no drawer. I built a drawer for the space and use it to store all the long equipment. I bought an 8 ft countertop to put on top.

I use glue sticks for labels because they soak off very easy. Stock up at the beginning of the school year to save money.

I just recently had a problem with a Winexpert kit and wrote the company.. They said 18 months from the manufacture date. I bought a kit 2-3 months after the 18th month and have not been able to get it to produce anything worthwhile. It will be my first kit that did not work out. :po Lesson...
