Wow, that must have been an experience to witness as well as be a part of. My wife and I did very well this year. I entered 12 wines and recieved 2 double gold, 1 gold, 4 silver and 4 bronze. 11 out of 12 wasn't bad! I was really excited about my Honey Mead that got a double gold as well as my...

There are some great pictures of the judging on Indy International Wine Competitions Facebook page. It's amazing what they can accomplish in just 3 days!

John, I started a North Jersey Winemakers Club on meetup.com. Last time I checked we had 32 members. We had 2 meetings so far at my wife's new winemaking store in Andover. Most of them are people wanting to make wine for the first time while a few of us are fellow winemakers. We are trying to...

John, Did you enter any wines? I just got the results and out of 8 wines entered into got 2 bronze, 2 silver, and 1 gold. I also got best of show grape for my Tannat Merlot. I was pleasantly surprised!

Or better yet Flyers or DEVILS - Jerseys own team (like the Giants should be!)

Welcome Tala, my daughter was born in Frisco (St Mary's Hospital) back in 79, now we're back in Jersey. Loved it out there the 3 years we were there.

Welcome to the forum Gary, I'm from North Jersey myself but there's no borders here in Jersey, and only we have Taylor Ham!!

That's the one!! Best of luck ;-)

John, I didn't see anything about one at the Meadowlands this year. Isn't that the one that's going to be in Sussex in August? I entered some in that one this time, sounds like they got it worked out better than when you entered it a few years ago!

Oow, I didn't win anything yet, hope you didn't jinx me... HaHaHa

Hey John, I got the same email because we entered the wine competition at the Meadowlands fair last year and that was a joke. I remember what you said about your experience there 2 years ago and I wasn't sure but then I saw that the AWS was judging this one so I entered some of mine as well...

I just sent in my entries yesterday. My wife and I both entered our wines. She entered 6 and I entered 12.

My wife is having a Grand Opening for her new winemaking shop on Saturday March 3rd. It's in Andover NJ if anyone is close to northern NJ. Should be a great time, wine, food, music, and giveaways!! It's called Vintner's Circle in Andover 973-940-7348. Cheers

They definitely turned it down this year, still loud but much better!! We were in the front but on the side by the bar away from the speakers. I got 6 Bronze, 6 Silver and 2 Gold out of 25 wines. My wife got 1 Bronze, 1 Silver, and 2 Gold out of 6 wines. And our daughter got 1 Bronze and 1...

Yes they are still selling these kits as far as I know. I think the new RJ Spagnols lounge series Cosmopolitan and Pina Colada see much better though. Dave

I have done it both ways, racking and not racking before stabilizing and haven't had a problem clearing. What I find is I do my additions and whipping in my primary so there is plenty of room for the foaming. Then I will put the wine in a 5 gallon carboy with the balance of wine in smaller...

Way To Go Dan. I like the looks of those medals as well. I am still waiting for my Best Of Show, my wife got hers with her first kit she ever made (Luna Bianca)!! I did get one last year at Corrado's for my Black Sambuca (distilled spirits) but thats not a wine!! Dave

Boy I wish I live in Southern Ohio, I could pig out on some good wine!! I want to try the same thing here in Northern New Jersey, we have clubs in South Jersey but can't find one here yet. My wife just opened up a winemaking shop and she thought it would be a good place to meet. Best of luck...

Presque Isle, thats where I used to buy my supplies until we got some more local shops here in NJ! I buy most of my stuff now from either Corrado's or Vintners Circle in Andover.

This is one of my all time favorite kits. I have made it several times and it always comes out terrific. I even got gold medals for it in competitions! Thanks for reminding me that I need to pick up another one!!
