All through dinner my wife's best friend's four-year-old daughter stared at me as I sat opposite her. The little girl could hardly eat her food for staring. Growing subconscious, I checked my beard for food stuck in it, glanced at my shirt for spots, made sure my hair was in place, even looked...

Has anyone on here every made kimchi? If so, care to share how you made it and how it turned out? I love the stuff but want to venture out and make some homemade so I thought I’d ask.

I started a Malbec kit on Jan 1. Initial SG was 1.110. Yeast was Red Star Premier Rouge. Temp was 72 (basement). The first three days went very well then I think it got too cold (62). I put a small heater nearby and went downstairs to check on it the next day ... holy guacamole it was up to 94...

Apparently Sardinia Italy consistently has some really old folks and they're willing to share their secrets. “Go live your life, work hard and be active — and a little wine,” Paglieno repeated. “I’ve already had mine for today. It’s one of the secrets, but just a little. Don’t abuse it.”...

Two friends, Willie and Maurice, were walking back home along an old dirt road after a long day's work in the field. Maurice: "Willie, if you had two shiny new Cadillacs, would you give me one of 'em?" Willie: "You're my best friend. You know I would." They walked for another five...

Young King Arthur was ambushed and imprisoned by the monarch of a neighboring kingdom. The monarch could have killed him but was moved by Arthur's youth and ideals. So, the monarch offered him his freedom, as long as he could answer a very difficult question. Arthur would have a year to figure...

A cop was patrolling just before midnight in a well-known lover's spot, famous for amorous activities by teenagers. He sees a couple in a car, with the interior light brightly glowing. The cop carefully approaches the car to get a closer look. Then he sees a young man behind the wheel...

Walking along the beach, a man finds a bottle. He rubs it and instantly, a genie appears. “I’ll grant you three wishes,” the genie says. “There’s just one condition. I’m a lawyer’s genie, so for every wish you make, every lawyer in the world gets the same thing, only double.” After...

A couple of dog owners are arguing about whose pet is smarter. “My dog is so smart,” says the first owner, “that every morning he waits for the paperboy to come around. He tips the kid and then brings the newspaper to me, along with my morning coffee.” “I know,” says the second dog owner...

Started a Fontana Malbec today that I bought from Walmart for only $38.95 with FREE shipping. Hard to beat that price. There are quite a few on Amazon at the same price but Amazon has a LOT more varietals and flavors (Nebbiolo for example). Many thanks to @Joeswine for the inspiration...

Here is a closeup...

Dad called me and said he had about 6lbs of brown turkey figs freshly picked from the tree in his backyard and wanted to know if I wanted to make some wine. So, I cut them all in half and put them in the freezer on Sunday let them freeze solid, and got started tonight. For a one gallon recipe...

Which would you chose from WineXpert Selection: Chilean Carmenere or Italian Montepulciano (they're the same price at LP). Plan to order a grape skin pack from Juice Grape as well since neither include one.

A priest, a minister, and a rabbi wanted to see who was best at his job. So each one went into the woods to find a bear, and attempt to convert it. Later, they all got together and the priest began: “When I found the bear, I read to him from the catechism and sprinkled him with holy water...

An Alabama fan, an Auburn fan, an Ole Miss fan, and a Tennessee fan were captured while fighting in a far-off foreign land, and the leader of the captors said, 'We're going to line you up in front of a firing squad and shoot you all in turn. But first, you each can make a final wish.' The...

I'm thinking of starting an Island Mist Cranberry Malbec to drink at Thanksgiving in about 5 months (obviously the cranberry theme would pair well) but wanted to see if anyone had any other suggestions for a typical Thanksgiving meal of turkey, ham, cornbread dressing, sweet potato casserole...

I live just outside Birmingham, Alabama. The LHBS doesn't/won't order juice pails because "there aren't enough people wanting them" and "shipping is too expensive." Does anyone know of a place in Atlanta, Nashville, Memphis (or thereabouts) where I could order some juice pails, drive over, and...

Other than having potassium sorbate (and the price), what's the difference between three cans of red or white grape concentrate I'd buy in the grocery store and the one liter of grape concentrate I'd buy from LP? Since the LP grape concentrate is "3x concentrated" and the cans at the grocery...

Sounds legit ...
