    This is "syrup feeding" right? And should only be done if we want a sweet wine, correct? I'm currently doing that with a pineapple wine. I've also got a question about our banana wine. I stirred in some potassium sorbate a few months ago to stabilize it as I thought it was done...

    Hello folks, I'm new to the forums and I (was) just about to bottle my first try at making wine "from scratch" after doing a bunch of kits. Well, my pumpkin wine doesn't taste quite right, although in March when I racked it the last time it tasted fine. It's been sitting in the basement...

    There is only one Melrose, NY. I'm just north of Albany. ;) I don't mind traveling for the juice so any winery in NYS is fair game. Thanks in advance for those that have suggested wineries thusfar!
