Just the angle of the iPhone camera. And the bottles were set in a V shape.

Avery Design and Print online avery.com. We use removable labels. Ours are inkjet so if they get wet from water or condensation the labels run but if you keep them dry you can do this. On the first bottle the "Luciotti Dixon" is two layers. I size the first one to fit then copy and paste to get...

We just bottled these three Finer Wine Kits. 8 months in the carboys. Now, 6-10 months in bottles. The Sangiovese and Zinfandel are fantastic right now. The Super Tuscan needs time to take some of the bitter edge out but you can taste the potential. My wife and I have been making wine for seven...

We have three FW kits on their second oak, Sangiovese, Zinfandel, and Tuscan, all with double skins. In two weeks we will rack and plan another rack two weeks after that. In a month I will post on our progress.

I've looked on the web and can't find a retailer that sells DIAM corks in small quantities. I usually buy around 100-200 corks at a time. We max out at 5-6 kits going at once. 600 bottles in our "wine closet" right now. We have six batches going right now that will need bottled in 3 weeks. If...

Yes, I'm done being a cork soaker. I'm going to make a "corkador". I've been buying what I thought were premium corks. Maybe that is the issue. Someone grabbed the wrong bag from the warehouse and sent them to me. Thanks to everyone.

Used Star San to sanitize corks until our last 4 batches. Just a quick dunk and in the corker. I switched and dunked the corks in Easy Clean then into the corker. For the first time the corks are incredibly difficult to remove from the bottles. I'm thinking it's the Easy Clean drying and making...

The container is small so only a small quantity are in the solution at one time. I would say we cork a bottle every 10 seconds so the corks are not in there that long. We have been corking this way since we started making wine about 3 years ago. I can check our records but I'd say we have corked...

Here's a short video of wine bottle filling with the All In One Wine Pump. We filled and corked 150 bottles (5 carboys) Sunday in about 3 hours. Could not have done that many without the Wine Pump and our floor corker. On Saturday we filtered all 5 carboys with a filter attached to the All In...

The Label Wizard Had to post this. You probably know about this nifty simple little device to align labels on bottles. http://www.thelabelwizard.com/ Here's a video. https://youtu.be/hpmei3xGSqw

Winexpert Kits In central Ohio Winexpert leads the way. Making wine now for a year and a half. We have made 11 Winexpert kits, 2 more are now in fermentation, and 5 more just waiting to get started. Not a bad batch yet. All really good. Some have been outstanding. Once these are all going...

Smiling Yet Again! Well we have 5 carboys going and Sunday was the day to transfer one last time and let them age a little. I set up my AllInOneWinePump and off to the process. I'm smiling and having a ball watching the speed of the transfer and even more degassing going on and the best part is...

Have More Fun And Get More Done With AIO We've got it all. Wine making is truly an addiction and ALL the AllInOne products make it so much more fun. I don't lift carboys anymore. I don't spill wine when filling bottles. The Head Space Eliminators let me know that there is a slight vacuum on the...

Here's our first wines and labels.

Thanks for the warm WELCOME Wow. It's great to see some Central Ohio Winemakers! Thanks for the welcome. Will get some pictures up as soon as we bottle. Thanks again for the warm welcome. We need it in this weather!

I'm In for the Wine Pump Giveaway! And here is my entry!

My wife and I have two Wine Expert kits going. One Cabernet and one Chardonnay. Very excited. Racking the Cab tonight to age in the carboy. Two weeks for the Chard. Hope to read, learn, and drink our accomplishments!
