What a big day! That is a lot of wine and a lot of blending. Congrats on a successful day of bottling.

Fish ... pork loin and a bottle of wine!

Update 11-06-2023: Today I racked the FWK Syrah into a clean carboy and added K-meta. I did not use the clearing agents in June-July per instructions. There was not as much sediment as I expected today and my plan is to not rack again until its time to split the 6 gallons in a few months...

Gotta ask, because I have not done this, but is there a taste difference or do you sacrifice flavor by adding Ever Clear or fortifying wine?

Didn't get my invite but you can catch me next time! Its so much fun to entertain with family / friends for wine night. We do the same thing pretty frequently but most of the time on a much smaller scale. Try this with 8-10 people .... Costco Wine Advent or now its called Around the World in...

Kept my FWK Tavola PN in the refrig from Nov 2022 until March 2023 .... Grenache Rose Nov 2022 until end of April 2023. Big sale last Nov 2022 and couldn't pass it up

Thanks for the FWK update ... was beginning to wonder if my order would arrive in time to start it in Nov.

I started my Chilean Carmenere in August 2023 so I'm only a couple months ahead of you! While on vacation in September I was able to try a Carmenere and it was the best wine of the week. Exciting times ... now we wait.

I purchased two of the twisted mist last year at a crazy cheap price but found it wasn't for me either Dave. The advantage was it gave me an opportunity to make more wine, (cheaper wine for the experience), and give it away. Guessing we've both learned something here! 😁 Thanks for sharing...

The back story to this whole FWK blackberry wine is, I had only made the Island Mist blackberry which is a thin structure grape wine with blackberry flavor pack. The FWK has more body, structure is different and sorta thicker or more like real blackberries. I was accustomed to the Island Mist...

You need to keep us posted on your progress. This sounds like a ton of fun!

So we are 1/4th or a quarter into my experiment with the FWK Syrah. Thanks Bryan for the results ..... I viewed them in July on your site.

Using a pen/paper to add up how much it would be to get into larger quantities like the FWK Winery Series would cost me a fortune with the supplies and divorce. 🤣

Is this your first Novello kit? Others have been Tavola or Forte?

I purchased bottles my first year of wine making but the past few years its been pretty easy to obtain them from family / friends. For the first time ever, I have about 8-9 wines in carboys, and a need for 240 bottles but I realized not all the wines will be bottled at once. I like splitting...

The Hurricane was a hit with family & friends but the Hard Pink Lemonade just lacked something and no one is drinking it. Hurricane has tons of tropical flavor and you will be happy with it.

Those labels are BADASS Bryan ... very nice.

I was a scardey cat about getting warm or hot juice but thats mostly because of my inexperience or just not knowing. 😂 Ratflinger might be right and I'm worried for nothin', so next week I'll order another FWK. Now the biggest worry is which one? Leaning towards a Tavola Petite Sirah or...

Bottled my So Sweet Strawberry earlier this week. Over 30 bottles! I added a strawberry riesling ice wine (almost a gallon) during bulk aging and I think this is going to be a very good wine.

I bottled my Island Mist strawberry earlier this week which had an added feature. Originally I had six gallons but decided to blend almost a full gallon of Strawberry Riesling Ice Wine. The strawberry ice wine was made a couple months ago and added while the strawberry sat bulk aging. I think...
