Wine Gifts

For Christmas I gave wine as a gift to many.. One of the most asked question was "where did you learn how to do this?" I told them all about this terrific site & all the help I have gotten here!!

Our small company had a Christmas party and they bought beer for us al. I myself brought in a bunch of my wines. It was the hit of the party and lets just say that there was a lot of beer left and I took home ALL of my empty bottles. There were 19 of us and I brought 10 assorted bottles and all 10 bottles came home with me with not a drop left!

Doesn't that feel great when others compliment your wine?? lol

Without this site I would never have been brave enough to "upgrade" from kits~

I did the same. I gave out bottles of mead, 6 packs of beer, and a few bottles of my first port from a kit. My wife added in some homemade red wine vinegar and vanilla extract. So far people have loved it.

Vanilla extract is ridiculously easy to make. You get some vanilla beans, split them, and put them in a jar with vodka. Shake the jar once a day or so and in a few weeks you have Vanilla Extract. When it runs low, you can just add more vodka and occasionally an extra bean and it's never ending vanilla extract.
