My recipe is based on a sangria that we once had in a Flamenco bar in Madrid. 2 bottles of red wine one cup of sweet vermouth one cup of Triple Sec Half cup of sugar 4 cups of Fresca (grapefruit lemon soda) one sliced orange one sliced lemon

A good option might be the grapes from Colavita. Local Distributors — F. Colavita & Son probably your closest distributor is in Gainesville TX. I have picked up from him for several years now. he will have a reefer truck deliver it, and I usually drive down from Northwest Arkansas to pick it up...

I have had a great experience with Gibson brothers out of Hot springs AR Wooden barrels | Gibbs Brothers Cooperage | United States I have a 15-gallon barrel thatI used for several years, and I am planning to get a 5 gallon one next year.

Hey Steve, in Gainesville TX the distributor is Willem who owns Deschain Cellars. here is the page that has his contact information Local Distributors — F. Colavita & Son I really enjoyed picking up with him the last few years, he is a very cool guy who loves to share his winemaking knowledge...

@Robert R Unfortunately I am going to have to skip this year as me and my wife are expecting our first baby this year, about 4 weeks before the pick-up time frame. However, if you are willing to take a drive out to Deschain cellars in Gainesville TX you could pick it up there. Local Distributors...

Where are you located? There are several options across the country.

No I am actually Stefan haha, I did pick up from Willem last year. And I know he will do it again this year. I decided to become a distributor myself in Northwest Arkansas, since there isn't a single source for grapes and juice anywhere near here. Worst case if I don't get enough orders to get a...

don't know where in Texas you are but I picked my grapes and juice up in Gainesville TX last year. Might be the one that was unresponsive to your emails. Anyway I know they will get grapes and juice again this year I don't know how far you are from Northwest Arkansas but I am a distributor for...

yes agree on the noble and carlos muscadine. they are the best for wine in my opinion.

check out F. Colavita & Son. they are a supplier with distributors all over the country. Local Distributors — F. Colavita & Son I believe they have a distributor in Denver as well.

My plans for this fall are: 6 gallons of Noble Muscadine. I know not everyone is a fan of muscadines, but I have made some really good dry versions of it in the last years. This year will be the first time I adjust acidity downward for it, to see what that does to this variety. 6 gallons of...

They still look pretty good though! I think it really shows these vines were made for the Arkansas climate, they have been very vigorous for me. I am debating on adding a second row of vines next year, or actually, I want to add a second row but still need to convince my wife haha.

They are doing great! Last year I was growing them without trellis, so I trimmed them back to like 6 buds this winter. And they took off this spring. I did lose most of the first growth to a late frost, but this is where they are at now: Don't mind the grass going to mow tomorrow. Hoping to...

Also, I would recommend looking for a used floor corker, oftentimes they can be found anywhere from 20 to 40 dollars. I found my Italian floor corker for 25 dollars. I took it apart to give it a good clean, sanded some rusty spots, and repainted it, and it is as good as new.

How would this work as far as shipping goes? I am in Arkansas, and might be interested in it for next year. already oaked my last year's wines, and want to plan it out to where the barrel won't be empty.

Colavita out of California has local distributors all over the country. Local Distributors — F. Colavita & Son I saw there is one in Buford GA. I found a location fairly near me last year, and the quality was great.

I usually make a Pomace wine that can be consumed after 6 months. Just add half the amount of accidulated water, and sugar to desired starting gravity. So if you got say 20 gallon of wine from the grapes, add 10 gallons back. I either do that or add the pomace to a juice bucket, to give it more...

I have been using these corks: https://www.winemakersdepot.com/Wine-Corks-Aquamark-Natural-Colmated-9-x-175-P1055.aspx very happy with the quality, don't know if the would hold for 12 years though

That's a great price actually. I bought a half bushel from taylor's orchard in Gentry AR for 45$

Oh yes, I remember having to order all my brewing stuff online because the nearest brew store was about an hour and a half away. Arkansas sure is a lot different than NL, definitely had to get used to that haha. I used to live on the island of Texel so I very much miss being able to go to the...
