#3 made me laugh so hard, hahaha

(New Orleans, for those who aren't familiar) I've made a couple of posts already, but still decided to make a formal "introduction" post for myself and tell everyone hello! I've been making wine for 1.5 years now and it's still as fun as it was on day one. I'm far from an expert/guru, so I...

As far as using wine kits and the canned fruit/juices for wine making, I've never used either one of them. To be honest, it depends on the type of wine you wish to create and whether or not you can actually "press" it for its juice. A true wine is made from 100% fruit juice, but wine made with...
