Nice quiet Sunday, just relaxing at home, cracked a bottle of Dan Isabella Blackberry & Flems Strawberry White Zinfandell, both very good. Going to have leftovers from Dels in Bloomfield & at Ann's in Bethel. Both Pasta dishes, so the wine will fit in nicely!! That is if I ever stop drinking the wine!!

Today I shared some other peoples wine. Rodo's Apple Pie wine was awesome as usual. Almargita's Merlot was enjoyed by many. Julie your chocolate Candy cane wine, well I finally opened it and it's really not bad. LOL Yes as you know I used mine for toilet bowl cleaner, your's was much better.

The ultimate winner though was Julie's Muscadine. I poured one glass and sat it down for a minute and it disappeared. Damn, I went to pour some more and the bottle was gone. This stuff was fantastic!

I have to admit my Skittle wine really came around also and is best served very cold. As I stated in another post my cherry/chocolate almond wine really came around also.
 
Thanks Dan, really glad to hear everyone liked the muscadine and glad to hear my candy cane was liked as well.
 
Open up DjSteve's Cayuga, awesome Steve, had it with hot turkey sandwiches. Loved it!
 
Last evening I had a glass of DjSteve's Bordeaux. Wow, Steve, that stuff is great and Mike even liked it, lol, and he doesn't like anything on the dry side. The flavors were exploding in my mouth. This is now on my list to make.
 
My Bordeaux was probably the best wine I have made yet as far as the reds go. Next year I will have to make more. Others have said the same thing Julie, thank you.

Also up there is the Brianna Skeeter Champagne and the Cranberry Lime Skeeter Pee.
 
Jule last night we opened your melbec. It was very flavorful and good. I even used a cup of it in the onion soup my wife was making.

what was the final reading on your malbec? I am still wanting to compare the two next spring
 
I did not get any results from the mlf after all the time and money I put into the culture and tests. I should have listened to Charles like you did and just skipped it. No I can't even sweeten it just a bit. Tha's ok though as I have friends that like dry.
 
Well of course I'm a good mod :h

You might be surprised on that wine. Malbec is one of those reds that can, if the acid is balance right, it will come off as a slightly sweet wine.

But the winemaker over at Luva Bella's made a whole lot of since, unless you are going to age the wine for over three years, why bother with an MLF. They balance out the wines so there is no reason to play with that.
 
Tom your a good MOD with special needs! :)
