Not looking for a disease ID. I’m wanting to expand my vineyard and I’d like to have some variation to look at. I’ll look into Tempranillo. Thanks

Which varietals get red leaves in the fall? I have Cabernet Sauvignon planted and some plants get a few red leaves but only a very small percent, and not even the whole vine.

I use StarSan in a garden sprayer (new) and dump out anything that puddles.

I’ve only got 30 bottles out of a kit once, a WE Viognier with remarkably little sediment. Most of the time I get 28 bottles and from reading other’s accounts this seems typical especially for reds with skins.

I will almost certainly make a large batch of the Symphony Gewurztraminer but I’m a huge sucker for Gewurtz, infact it’s the reason I planted 4 acres of vines.

I’ve made the CC Sterling Pinot Noir a few times and it’s been great! I looked recently to buy it again and it seems every place is out of stock. Is this kit discontinued? It seems odd to me to have such a staple be out of stock.

Well you know all those closeted underaged vintners making wine under their parents nose. How are they going to get bourbon?

Grapes only produce fruit on 1 year old wood so if you’re trimming off the 1 year old spurs then you’ll only get foliage.

Thanks for the link! I contacted them and they apologized for that kit showing on their site and told me their last PV kit sold a long time ago. Oh welll, something to lust after. The LE17 Ruby Cab would be a good successor but there’s no skins.

So does this kit come with skins? I see people mention adding skins to secondary. Others say the punch down daily (which usually means skins)

label peelers, and southern home brew both say it DOES come with skins while Homebrewit (member here) says it does NOT. Can we get confirmation?

Searched for ‘Star San Malolactic’ and was surprised the system found nothing. Will Star San kill malolactic bacteria? I’m asking because I want to use some plastic vessels to perform malolactic fermentation then reuse the same vessel for some whites, which rarely go through malo.

Where do people go to etched wine glasses? A quick Google turned up a few results where an image is (more or less) painted on the glass but this won’t stand the test of time. I think I’m looking for etched glasses. What do you guys recommend?

I finally found a place that has it in stock but at $150 for the kit plus $100 for shipping, that’s a little too expensive for me. If anyone has and leads on this kit I’d love to know.

My favorite is the Winexpert Australian Petit Verdot. I haven’t been able to find it from anyone including LD Carlson.

It’s worth mentioning they were totally under the radar until THEY invited a local news station out to interview them and bring in new business.

The federal permit is very easy to obtain. Making sure the locals are happy is another. I know of a ‘winery’ here local in Oregon that operated for two years until the OLCC (local liquor license) got word and shut them down instantly. I say ‘winery’ because they weren’t licensed at ANY level...

I’m in Oregon

Wow your story sounds a lot like mine! What state are you located in?

I made this kit a few years ago and it was fantastic! I noticed I was running low so I went to look for a new kit and I can’t find it anywhere. Was this a limited edition? Any idea on when LD Carlson might offer it again?
