You know me too well! I had a nice experience with St.-Joseph (the wine, not the saint :) ) years ago. I rarely see it in the US, so I had to nab it at $15 at Carrefour today.

And, only if you read my other post, you can find a hint of the Eiffel Tower.

You know how on TV/movies, every single apartment in Paris has a view of the Eiffel Tower? Well, it is a little hard to tell, but that blob to the left of the crane is indeed "La dame de fer."

I would use BM4x4 for an Amarone.

Welcome to WMT! I don't have everything on your list. You don't have to get everything at once. You can pick up things as you go and, as @Jim Welch says, you can get many things on Craiglist or FM Marketplace.

At least you have the magic machine! Beats three guys and some t-shaped 2x4s.

I am not sure I agree with winechef. I don't think that canned peaches necessarily include preservatives. I think they are pasteurized before canning, but no preservatives. I am basing this suppposition on a few random webpages, but you could check the ingredients on your cans...

I am pretty sure you can put that f-pack in primary. However, it is possible that it has sorbate in it. You mention the directions instruct to add it with C&K. Are you also supposed to add potassium sorbate after fermentation? If not, it is possible the needed sorbate is in the f-pack. If...

I haven't fully digested it (no pun intended), but it drives me insane when people do math like that. They are using the = sign to mean something DIFFERENT from "the left side equals the right side." Also, using : to mean division is, welll, different! I may try and give it a go to figure...
