Hi there, Thanks for the link - much appreciated. Maybe I should grow my own Pinot Noir grapes. Hummmm.... Thanks again, Patrick

Ok ok - I admit it - I'm a Pinot Noir freak. I've been trying the Pinot Noir kits and getting some good experience. My question is - can you direct me to a merchant who will sell me some QUALITY Pinot Noir juice so I can work through this process from scratch. I can only handle kit quantities -...

Hello all, Peter, that's great looking wine. I'm envious of the clarity! Very nice! I tried the autosiphon this weekend since I was bottling some Ice Wine for Christmas gifts. I'm sorry to say, I could never get it to work. I'm sure it's not broken; it's me. I could never get the 'siphon'...

Hi there, Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to experiment with the wax today and see how much trouble I can get into. Also, I'll use the boiling water method for the caps and see how that goes. This forum is great - I love it! Patrick

Hello all, I think I'm just going to experiment with the wax and see what I can do with it. I'll let you know how it goes. I just thought this might be an interesting alternative to the shrink cap. I wonder if a regular hair dryer will put out enough heat to shrink the caps - anyone use...

Hello all, I'm finally ready to bottle a wine that I think deserves proper bottling. I've got the labels from George, along with 'caps' and wax. I don't really know how to do this. Here are some of my questions: What kind of glue should I use for the lables? How do I get the caps to...

Hello all! Masta, you mentioned that you use an autosiphon to rack which has a sediment tip. Could you point me to one of those in George's catalog? I love this forum! :) Patrick

Hello there again. Masta, many thanks for the links to the WE packages. I now know what happend. I just started a Mesa Luna white last weekend (in addition to the other two kits i mentioned). I see now where this F Pack is for that kit. Does the fact that I'm over 40 excuse me from...

Hello everyone, I started two wine kits at roughly the same time. One of the kits came with a F Pack - the other did not. I'm embarrased to say that I've forgotten which kit the F Pack is for. The two kits I have going are: Bordailles Blanc (Reserve) Viognier (Selection) Could anyone...
