    Avery Labels

    I would think removing the Avery stick-on labels would be difficult and leave a sticky residue. I either use the label paper from George or an Elmer's glue stick and regular paper printed from my laser jet printer. In either case, the label will fall off after soaking the bottle in hot water a...

    Mosti Mondiale It's On The Way !!

    Now I wish I had ordered the Amarone. I feel like a kid at Christmas, waiting for the LE kits to arrive. My first LE will be the Meglioli Barolo. One more month. I can smell your Amarone juice now. Let the fermentation begin.

    Other than George and his wife, is anyone else planning to attend the 2009 WineMaker Magazine Conference in Napa Valley, California on May 15-16, 2009?

    Orange Blossom Honey

    It is also a good idea not to lose your wine/mead making journal. I lost my 2006 winemaking journal. When I tasted the mead after bottling, it tastes good but is a bit watery/thin tasting (even though I used fifteeen pounds of honey). I just remembered that I was supposed to acid test the mead...

    Orange Blossom Honey

    I made an Orange Blossom Mead in 2006 and bottled it a few months ago. Last night, I opened a bottle. The nose was outstanding, with a citrus honey scent. I don't know why mead is not more popular.

    Has anyone made cranberry wine?

    Bill, I saw that Walker's offers hot press grape juice in various varieties. Have you made any of the grape varieties? If so, how were your results?

    Cellar Craft CC Viognier

    Viognier is my favorite white. Plus, I'd like to make some to blend with Syrah fora true Rhone blend. It looks like I'll have to add this to the lineup after my limited editions this year.

    RJ Spagnols Orchard Breezin - Blackberry Merlot

    Yup. When are the techies going to develop a way for us to transfer some liquid through the internet. I'd love a taste of that this morning. Looks delicious.

    Mosti Mondiale The advantages of senility

    Let it age in the box a few years, and it will get a nice brown tint to the wine. Then you'd have to make a port out of it.

    Cranberry No Fermentation

    I've read that Northern blueberries contain benzoic acid, but Southern varieties do not.

    M & M Produce

    They said they use air cargo, just like Peter Brehm. If you order multiple pails, you're still going to pay about $40 per pail for air cargo. But enough grapes to make three gallons of red wine will cost $80 or so, whereas Peter Brehm would range in the $100-150 range for enough red grapes for...

    BetaMax Loaner

    Wow. I have not heard of betamax for over twenty five years. My Dad bought one when it first came out and lost the gamble to VHS. Good luck finding this ancient history.

    ROAD TRIP

    -35! I'm shivering just thinking about it. I grew up in Southern California and the coldest day I experienced was 39 F. Now I'm in Dallas where it is schizophrenic weather. One day it is 80 F in January, the next it is 32 F, then back up to 75, then down to 43, etc. etc. etc. I'll take my...

    Cellar Craft CC Viognier

    So other than the fact it is throwing sediment, how do you like the taste of the CC Viognier?

    WineXpert sluggish fermentation

    Wine is difficult to screw up, especially from a kit. I once goofed up and added too much sulfites pre-fermentation. I stirred for several days before fermentation kicked in. You are unlikely to do anything with a kit that will not result in a successful fermentation, even if it is slow to start.

    Mosti Mondiale Quick Fermentation on MM Alljuice

    First, you need to buy yourself another carboy. But for now double-racking is fine. But you'll save yourself a step if you expand your carboy collection. You are better off letting it age 4-5 months. At the end of the bulk aging, I would rack again, add the finings and let it sit for two...

    Mosti Mondiale top off recommendations

    You could use a Grenache, Syrah/Shiraz or Mourvedre, which are the primary grapes in a Chateauneuf du Pape (or Castel del Papa) or a blend of the same.
