Just added my two cents!

Wow! I won 3 silvers! I didn't think I would win anything. I guess all the tips I've learned over the years from all the great winemakers on this site has paid off. :) Thank you JohnT and Josewine for organizing the contest. Also, thanks to all their judges. You guys are awesome. :) All the...

Hi, I would like to send in some reds I made a while back. Can you please send shipping info? Thanks!

Blackberry Pinot Noir We purchased a medium grade kit (~$80-$90) Pinot Noir Winexpert Kit. We wanted Blackberry Pinot Noir so we purchased 1.5 lbs. of blackberries to go with this. The Winexpert box includes the following: · Large bag of juice · 1 Pack of Redstar Champagne Yeast · 2...

Hi Lori, I help Joe with his posts and that was my mistake- this is a 3-gallon kit so it should say 3- gallon carboy, as well as 15 bottles, corks, and caps. Best, Katie (Neviawen)

I just started a citrus extract by grating the zest off 1 grapefruit, 2 lemons, and 2 limes and soaking the zest in Everclear. I made a batch of Hibiscus Wine last year and in a few weeks when the extract is ready I'm going to add it to the hibiscus wine before bottling. in Jamaica they have a...

It tastes Yum! I have 20 mini bottles of it in the fridge "just in case" the answer is "refridgerate it". I would like my fridge back soon though.. LOL

Hi Everyone! Ok, I had a quick question. I had a gallon of Cherry Wine that had no body to it so I wanted to do something with it. I've seen assorted recipes for Chellos with wine bases, everclear, simple syrup. (There was an orange creamcicle recipe I saw w/ heavy cream in it but I don't have...

Since the summer season is upon us, I wanted to give everyone a heads up about their air locks. Don't forget to check them! I went and checked on my carboys today and saw that a few of them were a little low on water. (I used other stuff in the past in the airlocks but for the most part I use...

<-- Katie. I'm glad everyone enjoyed our tutorial. It's a great learning experience for me, too, working with Joeswine! Cheers! Katie

Congrats, Joeswine, for "Best of Show" for the coffee port. I've had the pleasure of tasting that coffee port and it was really very good. I've recently tried a Joe's "Long Island Iced Tea" wine and I was pretty surprised that it tastes just like a LLIT. My husband and I used to order a LLIT...

For those watching the process of this new Sangiovese kit, I wanted to send you a neat little clip Joeswine and I put together. We put it on youtube, too! As we post more on this kit we will make more mini videos to demonstrate the process. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjR4AmgcYRU...

We're ready! Let's get making wine!! =-):db

Happy Birthday! Happy Winemaking, too!

I've grilled in snow before. Some stuff is just better on the grill..
