Seems it was a good year for growth. Let a few clusters develop on the Marechel Foch just to see and of course taste. Ohh yeahh , couple more seasons and we be making wine I believe. They all did very well, these were the only ones I let develop, think next year Ill let a "sample" develop on...

I made this kit three years ago, you will have a VERY good, no,EXCELLENTwine given time. Have you checked the calibration on your hydrometer to insure you are getting accurate measurments? Your plan for Sunday will work fine.

Looks like a great trip, thanks indeed for sharing .

Amazing anyone could walk away from that, take good care of her Waldo, shes the most important thing you have.

Welcome Big Bear, good info on rhubarb wine in this post: http://forum.finevinewines.com//forum_posts.asp?TID=3309&KW=Rhubarb&PN=1 It can make a pretty good wine, I believe Pelican has done a few variations on it also.

A good Pinot noir is a treat indeed. Ive made a couple of these Renaissance kits, and I am very impressed with the quality of wine made from them, hopefully your wife will be well pleased with it as well.

Ive been often tempted on this one also Waldo, let us know how it turns out .

I made this one back in Dec of 07. Just a few left, and they have gotten really good!

You are coming to the end of the fermentation, the biggest benefit of racking to glass will be limiting the exposure to oxygen.

Way to go! Kind of odd that they wouldn't attempt to make the best that can be made from the varieties available. I would sure think yours would better represent what the grapes can and cannot do. Good luck with them!

Welcome to the forum, looks like you have it well under control.

Same here as far as using more fruit per gal,and I also steam juice mine.I would set aside some of those higher % wines and try them again in a couple of years. At that ABV level, it will take some aging to balance out.They may still be a little thin bodied due to low amount of fruit, but...
