    Mosti Mondiale Vinifera Noble Valpolicella

    Started the Vinifera Noble Valpolicella kit this morning. First Kit for over three months. Mostly dues to the fact that we moved house. Opened the kit and found the usual materials. Labels are a bit different. There is a generic Vinifera Noble Label and an add on Valpolicella sticker...

    Moved

    It's a long story. It's also been a bit of a rough ride over the last couple of months. I'm going to apologize now for unloading on you all but I feel like you are friends. To start with, my brother Ian passed away in April. He was 52 years old, an ex RAF and airline pilot. He started...

    Bit the bullet

    Living just north of Houston, I am pretty limited to the kind of grapes I can grow. Pierce's disease is endemic here and there are no known regimens for it. There are a couple of resistant varieties, Old Spanish and blanc duBois being two of the better ones. Yesterday I ordered a couple...

    Help!

    Now I've gone and done it. I racked my MM AJ Chianti last week. To seal it I bought three of the multi size bungs and used one. Unfortunately, I pushed too hard and the bung is about half an inch below the neck of the carboys. Any ideas on how to get it out? Or techniques not to try...

    Pierce's disease

    I live in rural (almost) Texas, about 75 miles north of Houston. I'm told that grapes don' t do well around here because of Pierce's disease, which is carried by leaf hoppers. Anyone know of varieties (other than Muscadines)that would work?

    WineXpert Crushendo Montagnac

    bottled my crushendo Montagnac last night. Had a bit of a spill. At least half a glass missed the bottle and ended up in one of my favorite Napa Valley tumblers At first taste I knew that I had a winner. One of the perrenial questions about red kits has I think been answered for me at...

    How Old

    I keep a spreadsheet that calculates the age of my wines. I stared this game 30 months ago. My oldest is only 17. But I bet some of you ave some real old stuff sitting in the closet (umm I mean cellar)

    Mosti Mondiale MM All Juice Soave

    WineXpert Additives

    George, I have noticed the increasing tendency for the kit manufacturers to provide additional ingredients with some of the better kits. The Sicilian Grillo uses elderflower and a number of the MM kits use raisins. Is there anywhere to get similar materials though the catalog? For...

    Security

    There's been a bit of discussion about viruses and anti virus software on one of the other threads. It's probably never to early to make a couple of comments about Internet security and you can never make the comments often enough. I recently sold a timeshare on eBay and got my account hacked...

    WineXpert Sorbate

    Is anyone skipping the addition of sorbate in kit wines? One of the constant factors I am coming across is that all my reds (in particular) are sweeter than a commercial dry red. I presume that the sorbate is adding to that. If fermentation is really complete, is there any reason to add the...
