ANOTHER WINE EXCHANGE?

[myway22]

Jobe, I'll be in on the next one as well. First, I have nothing bottled yet that is aged, and second, since I'm new to this I wanna see how they turn out first

.

 

[jobe05]

To all the newbies: We understand how much you want to be apart of these exchanges, we were there once also. Don't fret, you'll get your chance, it's OK.

To all that have PM'ed me an exchange offer........... Just 24 hours left!

Although it's only 4 of us, there's quite a list to pick from.

 

[jobe05]

1 More Hour!

 

[jobe05]

1/2 hour..................

1 1/2 for me

Thats OK....... I'll be in the hot tub.

 

[jobe05]

OK Folks, Here's the list:

Again, the rules:

You can only pick one (1) wine, from one the the offers below.

You MUST be an offerer in order to ask for a bottle.

Once an ask has been made of an offerer, no other ask can be made of that offerer.

You MUST send your wine out to the person asking for it within a week(?)

Dang

Jobe it maybe10 years beforeI can offer a list like thatto you guys.

 

[jobe05]

Wow......... What happened to all the excitement about having a wine exchange?????????? 2 hours pass and nothing! Why did we bother????

 

[Wade E]

Im laid out on the couch for the past few days as my back has really been bothering me. I dont know what I did but Im in bad condition here. Im sorry, what do we do here, pm the person we want a wine from?

 

[Tomy]

Where you at David Clark, Smarfe, Scubamam, Bovine, Francie, JHalk, Harry,and other exelent wine makers that we would love to taste your wines, your missing outon the fun of trying out some very nice wine from members of the group. If you didn't take part this time I certinally hope you will the next, and if you arn't because you didn't receive your wine the last exchange in a timely manner blame me because I didn't specify a date to send, I apoligise for that. Another reason to take part, some of us will enter our wine in contests, and wouldn't you hate to miss out on tasting a award winning wine. This time I hope we can give a bit of feedback on the wine we exchange, as a honost opnion only helps us make better wine. Tomy

Hope your feeling better Wade

[Wade E]

Okay, I have PMed.

 

[grapeman]

I havent been involved in this but here is the rule Jobe posted concerning Asking for a wine


4) First come (ASK) first serve! But only for those who have entered a wine for exchange purposes. If you don't offer a wine, you cannot play (ASK). All you have to do to claim a wine is post the offerer and the wine that you want! THAT IS CONCIDERED AN "ASK" Again, POST THE OFFERER AND THE WINE YOU WANT!!!!!!!!! It will be up to each offerer to keep track of who wants to try your wine, and who has "asked" for 1 bottle of it "first", and to make sure you get an address and get it shipped in a "Timely" Fashion!

5) Once an "ASK" for a wine from an offerer has been posted, that offerer can not be ASKED for any more wine, his/her offer is closed! The first post rules! Period!

I hope you have another wine exchange later onthis summer.
I would love to be in it but I have to drive 70 miles to ship anything .
with the roades as bad as they are the person I would be sending to might have to wate too long to get the wine. This summer I could go much quicker

 

[Tomy]

Maybe you can't do this but in our small town we can weigh the package, than call the post office to ask how much to ship. We than give Gus our mail man the correct amount of money and he will mail it for us. If we owe more he will leave a note, or if its too much he will leave change in the box. Tomy PS The day before Christmas a few years back Gus came staggering up the walk.Gus asked if he could come in & sit a bit. I said sure. It seemed a lot of people on his mail route were offering him a glass of cheer at most every house, and not wanting to disapoint Gus had surpasses his limit. A couple of neighbor guys finished his route while I drove him home. The next year Gus said thanks but no thanks to the beer, wiskey & wine that was offered.Edited by: Tomy

Stories like that make being from a small town worth it. Brought a smile to my face!!

We are so small we don't get home delivery but we get a free po box. The
lady that is the post mistress is comanly called the postal notzie. That is why I send every thing by UPS.Edited by: corn field

 

[myway22]

That is a great story Tomy. Where I'm from if you give the mailman money, you may never see him again

[Wade E]

Okay I received Joeswines wines yesterday and am on my 2nd bottle as of tonight. I started off with the Cab/Sauv and it was a Chilean a juice he got from a produce store. It had great flavor but was a little thin for a Cab/Sauv. I just popped open his Red Plum though and it is awesome. More color then i had ever expected from a plum, its a deep red and sweet up front with a nice tart after bight as Joe stated and is very true. I have 6 1/2 gallons of plum buk aging and i hope mine comes out this good.

 

[Wade E]

Okay, I had a bad day so I finished that bottle and moved on to the Raspberry (last bottle). Let me tell you folks that I saved the best for last. Nice body. legs, and flavor is out of this world. I have a 6 gallon batch of Raspberry melomel which I went overboard on fresh raspberries from my parents garden and it smells just like this wine. Again, this melomel has been bulking quite some time now for laziness sake but will bottle soon. Joe, this wine is awesome and anyone who gets some of this wine is in for a TREAT! Edited by: wade
