well got my bronze and carlos muscadines strained today and added enough sugar to bring them back up to 1.050 so we'll see how long it takes to ferment down dry again

Where did you get a petit verdot at??

yet we keep insisting on putting stuff like this in the wine

I've had a friend do he same the color should come back one reason I don't care for the chems. in my wines I don't use anything unless I absolutely have too

no didn't get it

hey it never hurts to play around with mixtures just try small samples first to get an idea what they taste like.

True one rule of thumb NEVER bottle any wine that still has any type of action going on with it.

well not one by one but just don't force them like in a blender or you know where it will make the stem in the centers of the berries get mushed up
