If you had to go with a single varietal...

For me it's not just that but all the nonesense about their 2,3 and 4 year old wines. Heck, my oldest is only aproaching 8 months.

Time wounds all heals. Keep making wine and you'll get there.

If you are getting 3 lugs to make a 6 gallon batch, just going to throw it out there that I am currently drinking a $14 bottle of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cab Sav and it is delicious. I'd think a 2lug:1lug Sangio:Cab ratio co-ferment would also work well.

What timing! My neighbor said was cutting to just one white and one red and that was all she was ever going to make...just those two.

I said never! That is what is great about wine making,,,all the different kinds! And then the blends!

Don't feel like you need to pull a bottle for me, but if we can get @jgmann67 , @mainshipfred , @heatherd and possibly a few others, you'd have a captive audience for a tasting! Plus it is usually in the morning so our palettes are "clean". Their tastebuds are better than mine, at least their descriptions are more "flowery" than mine.

I expect some really good posts for meals when your parents are there, if your back from sleeping on the couch doesn't hurt to much to aim the camera...

I am in!! Nothing better than a morning tasting.

Let me know your collective plans for Harford. Perhaps we can meet up and swap bottles.

A prior poster mentioned Nebbiolo and I have made that from Italian juice and a lug of grapes. Turned out well. The same year I made Nebbiolo and Barbera.

I tend to gravitate toward Italian wines, so my "made" list has several.

Me too! Drinking wine at 10:00 a.m. doesn't mean you have a drinking problem. It means you're a wine maker.

I have a thread going on my 2017 plans. Can't wait till they post up their updated grapes and juice.
