    We were looking at a property this morning and noticed this sign at the driveway; way better than "Protected by CPI Security" :r

    Elderberry and the Green Goo.

    Winemanden, we're all so sorry to hear that you don't have the green goo there in the UK. We got together and took up a collection. A 10 gallon bucket of green goo is on its way to Banbury! That's OK - no need to thank us. We didn't want you to miss out on the fun and we take care of our own!!!🤣

    freezing grapes

    I use 1 gal. ziplock freezer bags to freeze our muscadines. One bag will hold aprox 5 lbs. Not sure how this would work for regular Vitis vinifera; remember muscadine come off as single berries and not in clusters. Usually by the end of harvest, Ms Paw has told me if I put one more bag of...

    Owner's manual for crusher

    Does anyone have an owner’s manual for a Marchisio/Enoitalia manual grape crusher similar to this one? I need to do some maintenance/adjustments on an damaged crusher and would like to have the owners manual for reference. If you have a copy or know where to find one on line I would be...

    To our friends in Helene's path...

    Many of the cell towers are damaged or destroyed; however, heard on local news last night that the cell companies are installing temporary relay towers. Folks need to turn their phones off, wait a few seconds and turn back on. They MAY link to one of the temps and provide a connection...

    Link to Cowans Ford Dam spill way release from Helene. The dam is about 3 miles from our home and impounds Lake Norman 12 miles NW of Charlotte. Evacuation downstream in progress. We came across NC 73 a few minutes ago and there are 5 gates open now and the island you see below the dam is...

    To our friends in Helene's path...

    Thanks Rock. Storm center passed slightly to the west of us. We got almost 10 inches of rain and 45+ mph winds. A ton of medium to small limbs in the yard and 1 downed tree, no power outages - yet - and we're counting our blessings. Power company will be opening flood gates on two nearby...

    Passing along a Tradition

    Glad you enjoyed the videos. They give another slant to traditional wines. I've been a winemaker for longer than I care to remember but have always followed "modern" sanitation practices and venting methods. I have an Italian neighbor who has tried to talk me into his old world style but just...

    Passing along a Tradition

    I posted a YouTube link some time back in which an Italian grandfather passes on the tradition of old world wine making to his grandson. A few days ago I found the resulting taste testing of the wine they made. Here’s the link the link if you’re interested. Here’s the link to the original...

    Rooting Vine Cuttings

    Ran across this video and thought some members may find it interesting. Not sure what variety of grape he's rooting but his approach seems easy and well founded. I grow muscadines which are notoriously difficult (at least for me ;)) to root bare cuttings from late winter pruning. Here's the...

    Home Repair Tips

    I get Mrs. Paw to hold 'em while I hit. She doesn't learn very fast for girl her age!!!! (imagine I'll be in deep yogurt if she ever sees this😉)

    My experience with the All-in-one pump

    The AIO is top notch and Steve's customer support is incomparable. I made my own unit and it performed well for years until it almost died in the middle of a large run. Ordered the AIO and never looked back. "Buy the best and you'll only cry once!"

    Common Fruits that are dangerous to ferment

    Excellent explanation Rice_Guy - thanks. A friend had an experience with morel mushrooms that was probably in the "accumulated"category. She had eaten morels many times without incident and then after a particularly good forage, she became violently ill. Her mother, point contact individual...
