I searched for a thread on Marechal Foch and mostly turned up only my own posts (Missoula Vineyard) and a few other threads, so... In my vineyard I've had best production on Foch (and Leon Millot... and the Pinot when the WX cooperates). So I was pleased to see the recent article in Winemaker...

I have an All Juice, "Grigionay" kit that was started quite some time ago, done exactly according to the instructions (including stirring (degassing) for CO2 at the appropriate times) and then put into a carboy for bulk aging - now at over 18 months. Six weeks ago, I checked for free SO2, added...

I hate to open a thread just for this, but I've had a "saved" Ebay search for some time for a crusher/de-stemmer -- and found this today -- http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270726247283&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123#shId Current bid is $200 -- Looks pretty nice but...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILL! Bill, I hope you're having a great day and that your snow is all gone, the vineyard isn't muddy, and pruning is done, or at least underway! Best to you! Dave ( I sure do wish George would get that smiley face that has a wine glass toast! If he did, I'd put it right here...

I didn't want to hijack Appleman's 'bud-break' thread, but I'm curious if there is more I can be doing this time of year "in the vinyard." And, I didn't see any other logical place to ask these questions. I've got the fence/deer issue covered, but one thing I'm wondering about is pre- (and...

(You know, if you "search" for "Mac" or "Apple" you get every post by Appleman and any combination where "mac" is found, including Normac</font>ork! ) I've got a new MacBookPro and am curious what software folks are using for labels. I can think of a lot more ways to spend $600 than Photoshop...

Thanks to all the vets and others who've served our nation over the years, and to those who continue to do so today around the world. My daughter, now 18, called my parents this morning, who BOTH served in North Africa and Italy in WWII to thank them for "saving the world." She started that...

I chose "carpe diem" ("seize the day") because it's one of my favorite sayings about how some people look at lemonsand think "how sour..." and other people say "Lemonade!" That's how I look at the global climate change issue. I've jokingly told people I planted my vines in Missoula because...

I was walking through the local ACE hardware store's garden/nursury section and came across some potted grape vines -- two different ones were Kay Gray and Edelweiss -- and I may be spelling the last one wrong. Kay Gray is mentioned in the Northern Wineworks book but not the Edelweiss -- one was...

I've read Joe Shultiema's sulfite solution article (it is athttp://www.finevinewines.com/sulfites1.htm ) after my latest venture with campden tabs. I'm curious if I'm doing something wrong. I crush the campden tabs to as fine a powder as I can, then mix into a solution of warm water (about...

The Montana Quarter is out! For all of you who want to share in the magnificence of our fair state (without the brrr c-o-l-d weather!) check your change! Edited by: OilnH2O

Here's how we enjoy Montana in the winter -- fire up the grill! First, take Add a MOST important ingredient! Go through the motions... Then -- like wine, have PATIENCE! Place into deep pan and add a can of beer and a cup of red wine and smother with more...

Some know I paint and have asked about my work. I try to use the paintings as my avatars -- here is a pic of the full-sized painting of my current avatar -- it is an oil, 16" x 20" and was one of 44 paintings with aircraft themes selected forthe 2005 Experimental Aircraft Association ("Oshkosh")...

Here is the "Christmas White" label I finally decided on for my buttery chardonnay (and Ramona, this is one of mine!) And, here the troopers are, all standing tall (one is out on manuevers!) I think I mentioned elsewhere I was able to get 30 and a half bottles from this -- the...

Christmas is just a few days away and I was wondering what you would REALLY like Santa to put under the tree! Just for fun -- I too want world peace, our service-men and -women home, and the future bright for my kids and their kids. Merry Christmas to you all and "fresh squeezin's" in 2007 for...

I've been doing my labels in Word but can't figure out a way tosave it as a jpeg or other graphic file. That way, the label could be "posted" to the forum or used to embed in another file (like our Christmas letter) as an imported "picture." I've tried every 'help' feature I can find, with no...
