Just be sure that she uses The Ole b**tard on the label, Pookie must be just a bit much for your wine!

Two down, One to Go!

 

[joeswine]

I like the picture on the label JW, what is a whte sharaz?

 

[Waldo]

If you don't mind joe im a gonna sit down here beside ya and wait on that answer too. I never heard of a white shiraz either

 

[JWMINNESOTA]

My guess is its either a great marketing tool, or free run juice similar to a Zin Blush.

It's possible also to get a grape variety without the pigmented skin, leading to a lighter or white wine. An example is Frontenac or Pinot Noir. There is a Frontenac Gris, Pinot Gris and Frontenac Blanc(newly developed) and Pinot Noir in addition to the normal dark ones.

 

[joeswine]

Thats cool ,but this wine in reference is a blush not a traditional white,,,right....the designer wines to day really think outside the box...there's no real end to the imagination in wine crafting is there,,,?any time waldo I be proud to have you sitbeside me................

 

[JWMINNESOTA]

Last One!!

While Id like to believe I now get my wine making area back, I know she's hooked. I blame George. I talked to him on the phone when these were ordered, he knew they were for the Mrs.....and "my" Pinot Noir had to be back ordered ( he had that evil little chuckle that I should of seen this comming). Funny it arrived just when these were out of primary and close to bottling. Suddenly all the wine I have ever made is "our" wine...and she can give as many away as she likes. I think I now need a lock on the cellar door!

 

[PolishWineP]

Me and Mine celebrated 22 this July. She deserves a gold crown. (of course I deserve some space in the garden to plant a few Old Spanish)
