Try using some Powerlees Rouge by Laffort. Works miracles for tannic reds.

Oh sorry about that.

I had a very bad experience with Vadia. I bought several barrels from them over the years with no problems, until my last purchase, I bought a 32 gallon and I did all the proper procedures to swell it and it held water , I then filled it up with my wine and the next day I had a couple leaks...

Is there any wine club/ group in the Del Co. area or Philadelphia area ?

I crushed 18 lugs of 169 Cab Sav and 14 lugs of Lanza PS. I was a little disappointed with the PS brix where only 22 . The Cab came in at 25 . The ph on both was 3.5 so I added 10 lbs of sugar in the PS brought it up to 24 .

I’m making 14 lugs of Lanza PS too

Has anyone ever used these grapes before? I ordered 14 lugs from Gino Pinto

That’s too expensive for me!! I can’t see spending 215$ for 3 gallons of wine.

Yea that’s where I bought my grapes this year , 500 lbs of Merlot and 500 lbs of Cab Franc from Washington.

Has anyone in this group bought Nebbiolo grapes from CA?? If so how did the wine turn out? I’m thinking about doing a batch of Nebbiolo this year. Thanks
