Pinot Nior?

My wifes' aunt and uncle live 15 min. outside of The Big Easy, with the Mississippi levee right across the road! I think the are coming up here to wait out the storm. Chris

I called the folks south of me and they get $6.00 a gallon, but they are pick your own. So I guess it is how much you want to work for your wine. Chris

These are prepicked and destemed. No work really involved. There is another sell south of me but I have never met with them and don't know their prices. Chris

He lives not too far from me in Rison. I guess that would be about an hour drive for you if you come through Sheridan.He only charges $9.00 a gallon. 1 gallon is four pounds if I remember right. Normaly I buy by the flat and I can make 10 gallons of wine from a flat. How are the smallies and...

The man has a pink kind that is pear shaped, he says it makes an awsome wine. I think it was Ison I used last year for 10 gal.. Then I used wild ones for another 10 gal.I never have mixed different types, I guess I should give it a try. ChrisEdited by: greenbean

Sorry I haven't been posting, but work has kept me away from the PC. Right now I have Elderberry,and Strawberry going and have finished my Choke Cherry wine. Also this week I'm planing on buying several different kinds of muscadines and scupernogs to use. The fellow I buy from has 12 different...

I've been a fairboard member for our county for 3 years now and to the best of my knowledge we have never had a wine entered . Our district fair has a nice contest though. Med I wish you the best of luck. Chris

Looks like the color is going to be real nice. I hope it taste better than mine. I would liken mine to peeing in a bottle and letting it set in the sun for a month, not what you would call good. Maybe next time. Chris

If they are setting on sediment go ahead and rack again. Then then stabilize and sweaten ,and bottle. After that forget them for about a year if you can. They will get better. Chris

I'm not too crazy about the flavor you get when you leave the berries in the must too long. About 2 days is the most I leave them in. The seeds seem to give it an off taste like the stems do. Maybe it is just my taste buds though. Chris

Maui, To me Elderberry is an aquired taste. I think it is ok while my wife hates it. So go slow and taste alot. Chris

Altus has 3 wineries and another about 8 miles out of town. They grow grape like we grow soybeans lol. Chris

They make enough to sell. She said a couple thousand pounds. That is alot of elderberries. Chris

I saw enough Oklahoma tag you would think I was there, but no. Altus Arkansas Chris

Thanks CW. Polish, I have everything you want to know on general wine making on the forum under Trip to Altus. Chris

I use Sharpie Markers.They wont rub or sweat off. You have to use an SOS pad to remove the writing. Also now they have a bunch of new colors to choose from. Chris

Now I'm hungry for strawberry shortcake!LOL I looks really good. Chris

While I was a Mount Bethal,I ask how did they get all of their elderberries destemed. ( They use 90% wild berries.) The lady told me that she and her husband cut the whole berry heads and put them in a paper sack and freeze them for 3 days. Then while the berries are still frozen they just dust...

Last night I bottled Full Bodied Blackberry,Light Bodied Blackberry,Blueberry Sherry,Rose Wine and Dry Riesling.The bottles were cold so they kept sweating but I think the pics came out OK. Chris
