Wade...I like your Blueberry/Pinot Noir label.....

How is that wine????

I am thinking about using some Pinot Noir Juice and some of my Blueberry juice to make a wine...

Wish I could drink wine....

My taster isn't working good...nothing tastes good and no matter what wine I taste it burns all the way down and then I belch [bet your glad I shared that tid-bit].....

 

[Wade E]

NW, that is the best Mist wine in my opinion and THE FAVORITE amongst all of my friends wives and girl friends. Its not sweet like most of the other Mist kits and 1 that I would not recommend upping the abv as its very delicate.

 

[Aaronh]

Yes the blueberry pinot noir one and the chocolete strawberry labels look pretty slick

. Pinot Noir is my favorite red, bet its really good with blueberrys .


Damn sorry to hear that NW. you got strep throat or somthing?
Reminds me of two months ago... when i got a bunch of K-meta for sanitizing my equipment in my mouth. I didnt wash my mouth out quick enough. It must have killed all the helpfull bacteria in my mouth.. along with some tatse buds. Long story short, nothing tatsed right for a week and anything slightly spicy , even spagetti burned bad.

Lesson learned

I keep a bottle of distilled water in my wine room now after that screw up.Edited by: Aaronh

No...I am doing Chemo and won't be doing any drinking of wine for probably another 4 months....Then all hell is going to break loose...

Jim is doing his part to rotate the stock in the wine cellar...

 

[Wade E]

NW has been getting Chemo treatments, look under Life is Good post for further info. Second, how did you get that in your mouth Aaronh. Dont tell me you are suck starting a siphon!!!!!!!

 

[Waldo]

I can't pass this up......"You gotta have one helluva mouth on you Aaronh to be sanitizing your equipment in there." Do you like put your auto siphon, hydrometer, stirring spoon etc in there all at once or one piec at a time. can you get us some pictures of your procedure ?

 

[Aaronh]

LoL

Naw I would draw the solution up my wine theif, sorta like a siphon to fill it up, dunk hydromiterand dump out before hanging on my wall to dry. One nightI wasnt paying verey close attention, was already up to the top, took another pull and

. Ya, I just jig it up and down now in my gallon container nowto fill it up. I like to sanatize and leave the salution dry on when i put it away becouse its pretty water saluable and washes offwhen I sanatize again. kinda like a k-meta forcefield. Trail and error , I dont plan on doing that ever again.

[Wade E]

Did you know that all you have to do is keep pushing the thief in and out of the solution quickly and it will fill all the way up to the top even in a shallow container. This is how the pros do it especially in a barrel. Just keep dunking it and you will hear the thief fill as it makes a different sound each time.

 

[Aaronh]

Thats whatI ment by jigging.

Jigging =up and down motion. Fishing term.Edited by: Aaronh

[AlFulchino]

terrific labels...i am partial to your amarone label.....nice work!

 

[Wade E]

Anyone else going to join in here? Come on people and lets help these newer people get creative!

 

[Wade E]

 

[AlFulchino]

well, i dont have the variety...yours is astounding...here is my basic label...the variety is changed as needed amd the font is actually white now

 

[Wade E]

Al, that is very nice and like I tell NW, i wish I could make myself commit to a standard label and I really am trying to but every time I make a new wine I star a new label and it just cascades into something new. I am in the process of developing my 1 for all though and hopefully I can just change an item or 2 within it to fit every new wine from here on in. Great job andthe white fonts will work out much better.
