I dunno about that, but I can provide food. :ib How about Sunday the 30th??? The first weekend in October would be good too. Hermann has Oktoberfest, so people can hit up the other wineries on a Saturday, get a room and come by ours on a Sunday. Although, it might be busy to do much at the...

Yep. He does have a golden undercoat. He's very smart. We have named his toys and he will pick them up by name. Our winery is on the same property (3 1/2 acres) and we can keep him on it 99% time (he does try to go visit with people/dogs next door. The only problem with him, is he doesn't...

You can also make rambutan wine.;) My sister lives in Kauai.

One thing to add, you have to add campden/k-meta/Na-meta/sulphites WITH any sorbate because without enough of any one of those, it can cause off flavors. Campden tablets or sulphites have a few names for which can be 2 substances being potassium metabisulphite -abbreviated k-meta- and sodium...

I want to make a paw paw wine, but the fruit is easily spoiled and I don't have any trees . :(

I have made PBJ wine. Nut wines are difficult to make and very tedious to make right. Both pre-ferm and post-ferm requires work to deal with the whole process we do, which includes making pecan. I made my pbj from organic whole unsalted peanuts. :) They are not cheap though.

Yep. Especially after the first racking into the secondary. When the yeast dies, it should settle, eventually. lol. Pear can be somewhat slow to clear.

He's in Hawaii where things are a bit relaxed. lol. I'm guessing he hasn't seen the busts from people posting things online. I saw a video of a guy who was flying on his sport bike at 150+ mph go to jail, but he did have lots of hits.

My dog Brutus as a pup. He is 1/2 rot, 1/4 black lab and 1/4 golden retriever. He loves the cold and to play in the snow

It will take LOTS more banana's to get any flavor. They will add body and you don't need any raisins with them in there. What you have now might make about 3 gallons total. You can ferment it without adding the acid and then add it later. You should get a way to test acid. Even a recipe...

After looking at our sales and response, I would agree. People seem to *think* our blueberry is the sweetest, but it's not. It hits about 1.009 and the blackberry is about 1.012, yet people seem to think the blueberry is sweeter. IIRC, the blue was a pH of 3.55 or so and the blackberry is...

Do not sell it. I can promise you, the fines are ridiculous and you would probably get a lesser sentence from selling drugs. It is very bad because about anyone can make alcohol, so selling it without the proper license is extremely illegal. It took us over 6 months to get a license and a...

The darker berry wines can age for 2-3 years or maybe more (depending on acidity) and the more citrus wines are better 6 months to 2 years tops. Elderberry, for example, with a pH of 3.4 or so and good storage, can go 4-5 years or more (never made it past 4, lol). It is how good the area you...

I typically sweat a lot (due to work), so sodium is probably a good thing. lol

You guys realize that they tried this again with the same wine, 30 years later??? They also did other events between that time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judgment_of_Paris_%28wine%29 The best wine will depend highly on the occasion AND the consumer. I have drank $30+ dollar bottles that...

I have made this before. It can be done, but I might do this commercially, so I cannot divulge how I do it. Sorry. I did mix it with concord grape wine. It is very good!

For me, I'm there right now and all day, but I'd say for outsiders, check out Octoberfest or Maifest. :)

Wow, that is sad. I agree with Bob. I think she might be needing help/time.

I'm this same way with certain fruits.

We do have mulch and do sometimes water in the evenings, but as Bob was saying, you have to be careful for root rot, fungus's, etc.
