Hi I into the dry/semi dry reds. I use to make wine wine 15 yrs ago the old fashion way. I'm trying my hand at wine making one more time, so I consider my level of wine making "beginner". I currently have Cabernet Sauvignon fermenting...


Thanks

Welcome to the forum, Kahaas. Cabernet Sauvignon is a great wine. Are you making it from a kit or juice? Let us know how it is going. Am I correct in assuming you live in Pittsburgh? If so, what part?

welcome to the forum, i'm in Mt. Washington
if you did not buy your kit yet i would suggest stepping
up a level. i made this kit when i was starting and found
it to be a bit on the thin side

Tim Thanks for the welcome..

what did you mean by steeping up a level and thin side?

I did already buy my kit and it is in the primary stage

I was being cautious about making wine for the first time in ages I went middle of the road so if I screwed it up I wasn't tossing a lot of money down the drain. As I gain confidence in myself I will move to the next levels..

kahaas, you're in ffemt's neighborhood. I'm east of Monroeville. Welcome to the forum.

From personal experience, don't have paralysis by overanalysis. My first batch tasted like vinegar, but I think I may have progressed a tad in the past 2+ years....

Welcome aboard,

I am an hour east of Pittsburgh. I love Cabernet Sauvignon. So I will be waiting anxiously to hear how yours turns out. Good, I hope. Are you going to add pieces of oak to it ?
