    COLA Question for winery owners

    How does one go about completing the COLA for an imported juice (Italian, Chilean). Lets say Barolo juice from Italy. Do you list this as an Import since the juice was imported or a Domestic since it was fermented in the U.S.? Do you list the grapes and what Appellation is used?

    Roomba Vacuums

    I ordered one of these to hopefully keep some of the shepherd hair under control on our first floor hardwoods. We vacuum about every 2-3 days and it could really probably use it every day. Hoping this reduces the need for full vacuuming so often. Any one have one or had any experience with them?

    Hazy wine after blending

    Over the weekend I blended some wines. I made a Concord, Catawba, Fredonia blend and a Concord Fredonia Niagra blend. Each wine individually was clear with no haze (shining laser pointer through them). Post blending I'm getting a haze. I'm thinking the culprit is the Concord as I also...
