Tonight we opened a bottle of Julie's Concord/Cranberry. It went well with our lasagna dinner. It was fruity, smooth and well balanced. Excellent job Julie.

 

[Julie]

Thanks Dan, I know you like to do blends and this is one of my favorite fruit blends.

Tonight was Runningwolf's Pink Catawba, very nice, Jeannie says "just what Pink Catawba should taste like"

 

[Runningwolf]

Thanks Rod, I mean Jeannie (the other "wine Thief").

Thanks Rod, I mean Jeannie (the other "wine Thief").

Hey don't you be calling her a wine thief!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Runningwolf]

Hey don't you be calling her a wine thief!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why you two are like two peas in a pod. Next time I catch the two of you in my wine cellar....well, I hope it has the same outcome!

I mean Jeannie (the other "wine Thief").

She didn't need to steel any you were very generous

 

[Runningwolf]

She didn't need to steel any you were very generous

LOL honestly, I get more enjoyment out of sharing my wine than I do drinking it.

 

[Julie]

LOL, just remember there are two of us to the one of you and I will be making sure Sue is on our side!

Okay, Dan - this is Jeannie, and you have forced me to jump in here. Why would you wish for the same outcome as last time, unless you enjoyed be tied up and duct-taped to the wall while Julie and I raided the wine cellar? Oh, that's right you begged us to come back the next night and do it again

 

[Runningwolf]

Of course I enjoyed it. You're welcome anytime.

We had a bottle of Julie's Montipulciano on Tuesday night. Upon first opening with initial taste, strong flavor of sour cherries. We let the bottle rest for an hour before opening. Flavor has strong hints of cherry, sour bite seemed to dissipate. Good overall aroma and flavor. Julie seemed to think it could be light on body. I thought overall it was a very good well rounded wine.

Oh we had with spaghetti.

 

[Runningwolf]

Julie, tonight we had another bottle of you cranberry/concord. I liked it even better then the bottle a few weeks ago. What was your ratio on this?

 

[Flem]

Opened Rodo's Rougeon on Easter. Everyone loved it. It was sweet, but not overly sweet. Thanks Rod. Tell Jeannie I haven't forgotten her Carmenere.

Today our Daughter joined us for lunch and we had a big salad (Romaine, red leaf, olives, cheese, hard bolied eggs and celery with EVOO and red wine vinegar), freshly baked bread and Flem's excellent Pinot Grigio. It went perfectly with our meal. Thanks, Flem!

 

[Julie]

Julie, tonight we had another bottle of you cranberry/concord. I liked it even better then the bottle a few weeks ago. What was your ratio on this?

2 concord/1 cranberry. Backsweeten with 2 concord/1 cranberry and bottle of corn syrup. fg 1.010, abv 11.53%, acid was 1.05% (I did nothing to lower it except age in the basement where it was cool) yeast 1122.

 

[Runningwolf]

so that was a one gallon batch of Welches? It sure was good.

 

[Julie]

Sorry, that was the ratio I used but I made a 3 gallon batch, I did the same with a concord/cherry which it real good as well, just replace the concord with the cherry. And I used Welch's frozen concentrate

Still up after baby sitting tonight, started watching Phantom of the Opera on QED & can't stop watching it. Think its on till 4;30am!!! Tried some of Rodo's Catawba earlier today from the meet & greet & swap & really enjoyed it. My wife enjoyed it more so that means less for me!!! Rob please furnish details on how it was made, definitely going to make some..... Checked Luva Bella juice list & they didn't have any..... Was it a Kit or juice bucket??

Glad you enjoyed it.
It was juice from walkers. I used Cote Des Blanc yeast, and Fermaide to start it, fined it with Kieselsol and Chitosan, used Colorfine at 2 grams per gallon, cold stabilized, fine filtered, and backsweetened to taste.
