    New jersey winemakers talk

    I'm having a slightly different experience as well, but some different grapes and one different source than yours. I know it's only 3 month but I feel this years Paso Robles Zin is going to surpass(with age) the 2016 and 2017 premium zins from Procacci Bros. And I don't dislike those , but...

    What's in your glass tonight?

    Happy and Prosperous 2019 to all

    I haven't been around too much the past few months and when I have I seem to be posting in wrong threads and not really keeping up with conversations. Little unfocused with major changes these days. Pretty much been working straight since I've been 13. Now at 56 and after 20 years at company...

    Onion and a garlic wine for cooking

    New in my basement .

    New in my basement is a nice new Vinmetrica sc-300. Wasn't expecting this. Fred and BJ thank you for helping Lori with this. It was actually the one thing I wanted but couldn't pull the trigger myself. Reading the manual now.

    Used good nutrients, but still had lots of H2S

    Very very common.. This should be followed up with healthy portions of baked bean, caramelized onions, cabbage and brussel sprouts. This will slightly increase the H2S output temporarily. Repeat for three days and then consume 16oz each of blue cheese, gouda and manchego. After the cheese...

    Any suggestions for PA visit?

    Mac's Tavern in Old City is part owned by McElhenney from the show and has an interior feel similar to the bar on the show. The mythical "Paddy's Pub" from the show is supposed to be on a dark alley in Philly, which would point to McGillin's Old Ale House on Drury St. IMO
