So its time to rack my CC Amarone out of the primary! Whats the best way to get the grape pack out? From what I see it looks like its a simple as reaching in and squeezing the juice out of the bag. I would assume I should rinse my hands in sulfite solution before I do so. It just seems a little...

Hi all! Someone posted a link a while back for a web page that had a show where the guy reviewed reasonably priced wines. I searched and couldn't find anything. Can someone point me in the right direction please? Thanks!!

So as it turns out, based on the projected shipping schedule, the day that the frozen juice would be delivered is the day that I head to Key West for a long weekend! So first question is, does it have to be worked on right away? Assuming that I got it Thurs and was back early Mon. would that be...

A while back I started the White Merlot I had bought and had sitting around for a while (just a couple months). Its been over 2 weeks since the 1st racking and the SG hasn't changed much since then. Was about 1.010 when I racked and its only at about 1.000 now and doesn't seem to be working...

Since I've made the 3 kits I've bought, I figure its time to try some fresh juice. Living near the Finger Lakes in NY, I should be able to get some very good juices. I'm looking for some good resources on the whole process. I'm not going to buy and crush grapes or anything, just the juice from...

So myself and some family and family friends are taking a wine appriecation class at the University of Rochester this fall. My cousin and uncle did it a few years back and wanted to take it again so I figured what the hell! You sample usually 15 wines per class, including some $100+ wines...

Anyone here every do any of the "wine of the month" clubs? A google search brings up a bunch and I think it might be something fun to try but I would like to do one that I know someone has used and its been quality wines and decent prices.

Hope everyone had a great 4th weekend! Had an extra day off today so I decided to start my Bergamais kit. I got this from Midwest before I found this site and then wanted to get going on the gewurtz. from George so I let it sit for a bit. I noticed in one of the articles George has here, he said...

Just noticed the new videos on the main page and took a quick look through a couple, they look great! Its always nice to have a visual reference. I'll probably go through them all when I get home tonight.

Got my All Juice Gewurztraminer from George today!!! Going to let it sit inside for a day since its been in hot fedex trucks for the last 5 days. Question for the pros here though...Do you actually lift the bag out of the bucket or just leave it in and pour. 4 gallon kits seem a bit more...

Well, I think my next batch is going to be a Gewürztraminer, as long as I am able to pronounce it :) With the All Juice kits on sale this month I am thinking about doing one of those. Do most people prefer those to the Wine Expert kits? (I'm going on the assumption that 6 gallons or juice will...

So my local shop setup a wine swap where you have 10 people in your goup, you go there and make your wine, then everyone gets 2 bottles of everyone elses wine and then keep the rest of what you made. I thought it was a great idea for someone like me who doesn' know much about wine! So I got 2 of...

First I want to say that this is a great forum, I have learned a lot just reading the last couple weeks. Here is my story/question: I'm an occasional beer maker who enjoys wine from time to time. As I "grow up" I seem to like it more but I don't really know anything about it! Live in the Finger...
