Very nice looking wines Ramona. How was the Niagra/Rasberry?

 

[rgecaprock]

It is a very nice wine...a hint of raspberry. It is slightly sweet to bring out the fruit...I have some chilling...think I'll get a glass

 

[NorthernWinos]

Could you Post the recipe please...It looks like a nice wine to make...

NW. this is the recipe that I used. I bought the white Niagara and the white Niagara/raspberry, half and half. I didn't want the raspberry to over power the wine. And yes the bottles will get the girly label as soon as i get them to Kinko's.

Ramona, youre like me. Whatever bottles I have get used. The wine looks very nice.

Very nice Ramona, I like the color, just a light blush, which indicates just a hint or the red fruit flavor as you indicated. Now my mouth is watering.....

 

[NorthernWinos]

Sounds like something I would like to make into sparkling wine...I can't stop thinking about this one...Just love the color...

 

[sangwitch]

those look awesome!

where did you score those boxes?

 

[rgecaprock]

Curtis works as a wine consultant at a huge wine and liquor store here in Houston. He brings them from work I have about 10 of them, maybe more. I love them.

Sangwitch,

I've picked up some very nice boxes from Costco. Their empties are free for the taking. I have about 10 boxes from 3 different Costco's. I usually pick up a bottle or 2 while I'm there and just put them in the box. A couple of times a Costco employee volunteered</span> to check in the back for me. One box is a "1998 Chateau Moutor Rothschild" that was $245 a bottle.

 

[Wade E]

You guys are lucky, the Costcos and Bjs in Ct. do not sell alcohol.

 

[rgecaprock]

One if my end tables is a stack of wine boxes.

Ramona...I dug out this thread because I loved the color of your 'girly-wine'....


I want to make more Raspberry Wine....am still picking a few raspberries and have some Niagara juice that I have to use up.


I have:
7-64oz bottles of Old Orchard Niagara Juice [3 1/2 gallons]
15# of frozen raspberries


Do you think this would make a6 gallon batch of a niceRosé colored wine with enough flavors????


I want a dry wine, thinking about using Lalvin E-C 1118 yeast...what do you think????

NW,


I guess my Rasberry Blush came out to be 3:1 white to raspberry to give it the nice blush and a hint of raspberry. 2:2 would probably be nice also, a little more raspberry flavor.


I need to make that one again after I make PWP's pineapple...Ramona
