    Corks for extended ageing

    The Old Goat Winery and I started at about the same time. In the early days, we helped each other out, unfortunately, I haven't talked with them in several years. Glad to hear they are doing well.

    Corks for extended ageing

    I won't go into details, but based on what I learned at the LD retailer conference and from Mosti, stick with my "Perfect" corks. They are some of the best corks on the market and will keep your wine for a long time, at least 6 years (from personal experience). As an aside, my corks do NOT...

    Mosti Mondiale HELP!!! Alljuice Concern

    I would rack now. Mosti changed the instruction to move the racking up. This helps the fermentation by adding some extra oxygen and stirring up the nutrients sitting on the bottom of the bucket. See my February newsletter for more information. http://www.finevinewines.com/February_2008.htm

    Mosti Mondiale Timing of New Instructions

    The important aspect is that the fermentation is complete. Anywhere from 12-21 days is fine as long as the specific gravity is .995 or below.

    Labels: Where do I start?

    They are supposed to peel right off after soaking for 30 seconds. The people using them all had excellent comments about the ease of creating and removing. The system was displayed today at the conference.

    Labels: Where do I start?

    Next month, I will havea new labeling system with peel and stick labels. You won't be able to add your own picture, but you will have about 50 choices.

    Mosti Mondiale Meglioli Barolo description

    The wine of Kings, the King of wines. A wine that evokes legend and fascination with its brilliant garnet-red and flashes of ruby. The bouquet is both pleasing and intense with its aromatic note of violets and oregano. Smooth in the mouth with crisp acidity, its firm but well integrated tannins...

    A near double disaster!!

    I have used the carboy handles for over 6 years and have not had even the slighest indication that they would crack a neck. In addition, I have never heard of one breaking the neck. I have them on all 40 of my carboys. I think the fear of them is unfounded.
