New year, new thread. So what's everyone got in production at this time? How about wish lists? My production is child's play to some of you, but for me it's the most I've had going at once. I'm a wee bit pround of my little winery.

Wish List

Well, in carboy bulk aging I have a Wine Expert Crushendo Super Tuscan and a Wine Expert Estate Series Woodbridge Ranch II Cabernet Sauvignon. I have a 3 gallon batch of Vintner's Harvest Raspberry clearing.






We are getting ready to move in about a month so I have not started anything else. I am not even going to bottle those in the carboy until after we move. I figured it will be easier to move the carboy than 60+ bottles.


After we get moved and settled in I plan on getting one of the Mosti Ports everyone raves about. I would really like to try a Pinot Noir but it sounds like they are being discontinued. I am probably going to concentrate on some fruit wines for a bit though. I have tons of Cabernet, Amarone, etc I need to put a dent in.


I really wanted to get into beer brewing but it appears George is getting out of beer kits and supplies. If I can still catch them when I am ready, I will get into this as I will finally have a wet bar area and I really want to be able to walk up to my own tap and draw me up a frosty mug of beer. I actually like beer better than wine and stumbled into winemaking when researching beer brewing.

I am mad now, when my wife wakes up I am going to have her read this so she can see that having just one set up is just notenough.It does have an almost ready to bottle RJS Pinot Blanco if that counts for anything. I am going to have to call Dr. Phil and tell him to give her a call!
