    August 2014 Wine of the Month

    EXCITED Free Cherries

    I am receiving free cherries from a relative. I have a few questions though. 1. How do you freeze them? Pitted unpitted? 2. Dow have to pit them when using? 3. How many pounds should be used per gallon? 4. Is there a recipe that someone can send me? Thanks in advance for the responses.

    DangerDave's Dragon Blood Wine

    I use a piece of paper with print on it. If I can read the print clearly I feel I am good. Of course that does not work with reds.
