    WineXpert Recommend a White Wine for me

    I'd make a Riesling. Because it goes really well with Thai food. Instead of withholding water to try and hit five gallons, just make the kit as usual, and don't top up where is says. You'll come out with less than six gallons, and a wine that has nice body and not "thin". I also had very...

    WineXpert Need some advice on my Gewurztraminer

    Looks fine! Here's my story! Darlene, I made this same wine last year from a WE kit. I had a questionable scent and taste during the fermenting process, it wasn't major, and my gravities weren't perfect, because of where I was doing my fermenting. BUT! The thing that I found after I...
