Absolutely! My heart is always with family.I did leave with a mess of mixed emotions. Teary eyed to be leaving yet so needing to get home.

Hi Wynn, I too agree that some fruit wines can smell off during the ferment stage. Maybe start a fresh link with this and give more details like Pam suggested http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=5

Welcome to WMT!

Wow what a time. For those who recall and those who don't know, I left at the end of May to go look after my mother inlaw who suffers from alzheimer's.What a horrible disease. I really can't say who I feel worse for, those who have it, or those who have to watch someone they love suffer...

wow! Glad no one was hurt.Thanks for sharing!!

No it's too far a drive for me.It's about 550 km and over the stupid Coquihalla. I know. I knew exactly where you were coming from in your post on it.It's real sad to watch someone deteriorate with it. It's going to be a long month. Good news is the kids have moved down to the coast now so I'll...

Packing. I have to leave for the entire month of June! Hubby's mom has alzheimer's and his sister is taking a month off to go to Europe(she usually looks after their mom.) She's in a home (his mom)but doesn't have full care yet.I have to get everything set up while I'm down there because the...

Honestly ,cooked and ate too fast for pics lol. Roasted chicken,rice and steamed veggies. I'm away for the entire month of June. A little worried about the menu ;).

All this Costco talk made me curious about a wine kit I did from there. It's still a baby at 6 months, I added grapeskins from another kit and some Tancor Grand Cru tannin.It definitely still tastes a bit on the green side,but for a inexpensive kit,and young, it's not too bad.Not one I would...

So sorry for your loss Julie .I hope the whole family can heal from this.A death in the family is hard.A death of the family can be a whole lot worse.

Steak,mushrooms,onions and salad for me

It started with beer with friends and is ending with my Tuscan

I really like it.The blackberry flavor is obviously right up front but I don't find it over the top.Body is a good medium.Sweetness, I went dry. Only change I will do again is maybe oak it a for a little something other than the fruit taste. Maybe split the wine and do 1/2 with American oak...

Tonight I am having my blackberry. It's just coming on 3 years It was actually a great start for me on this forum! http://www.winemakingtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=38273

For Spagnols kits I have found the Grand Cru and Grand Cru International to be good early drinkers.I would say they are about the same as a Barefoot at a younger age (6-12 months). I make them up to have while waiting on my others to age.I don't think aging them longer will change them much.They...

I would agree except not all things are logical. 97% of all my wines are RJS. I'm hoping it's all for the better

Ya I agree. New ownership and they moved across Canada. They eradicated quite a few kits as well as making changes to others. I guess time will tell if it was for the better or just for the $

As you said,it is too early for anyone to have an aged wine from this new version but I personally added more oak and tannin to secondary tin my older kit and I have to say ,at 14 months,it's one of my best.I think they've had ,or read a lot of people saying they Oaked this one up so they've...

Cleaning the inside of my car (hopefully tomorrow the outside gets done lol)Great happy hour with neighbors and their parents

Tonight was a Cellar Classic merlot.It just hit the 1 year mark a week ago. I am going to miss the Cellar Classics. I personally think RJS dropped the ball on discontinuing it
