This is the place to be to generally discuss topics, share photos and experiences, and ask questions about making Amber wine. Also known as skin-contact white wine or "orange" wine.

I think a good dose of humor is to be appreciated. :cool:

I have noticed a few topics recently including references and discussions about the use of "free run" juice. What is not so much mentioned: it is actually a bit more complicated than free run versus everything else. A wine maker does not, or rather should not, simply consider free run versus...

A one stop topic for self made wine related videos. That is, this is where you post links or upload videos you made. Links are probably better than uploads, as that will reduce taxing the Winemaking Talk server space. ;) It is not to be where you link to videos others made, or to Youtube...

There was once a very lonely King. He was so lonely, he decided to invite a band of musicians one night to play music to him during his dinner. The band played so wonderfully, and the king was so pleased, after the meal he told the musicians: "I am so happy with what you have done. You have...

Thought I would share the Croatian Vinolab online calculators web site, as they have many calculators you may need for wine making. Very useful. https://www.vinolab.hr/calculator/en4

A thirteen series course from UC Davis. Very wonkish. Everything you wanted to know, and did not want to know, about yeast et al. Enjoy. :-)

Video in Spanish, but with subtitles (Youtube auto-generated, so not perfect, but understandable).

For many years on my "to do" list was renovating my press pan and putting it on wheels. I finally did it. I really like DIY projects. Especially renovating old equipment or creating new solutions to old problems. So I hope this topic encourages others to post their DIY projects. :D

See this link: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/04/12/world/europe/france-wine-frost.html I live in central Europe and it was snowing today. Just saying.

A topic about dogs we love, and who keep us company in the winery.

After you harvest, and press, what does your equipment (press, crusher, cleaning areas, etc.) look like? Photos. Here is one of mine.

Just to share. While recently tucking vines into trellis wires and I came across a very weird shaped cluster on my Turán (aka Agria). We have had a lot weird weather this spring, so more weirdness in the vines is not unexpected. But still the weirdest cluster I have ever seen. Extra Internet...

AKA -- how to waste three minutes of your life. Once I start picking, crushing and pressing I will also post a video how well it works (or not).

Started managing a neighbor's vineyard. Trimming has been "interesting". Prior management seems to have been, for want of a better word: "minimal". So I keep coming upon weirdly trimmed vines that were allowed to grow in bizarre shapes. As I will need to run equipment in the rows, I have to...

From my "other blog". :)
