Time on your hands

[Maui Joe]

Yes, I have been told that. When I receive my order, the yeast will be used very soon. It's amazing how that freezer fills up so quickly with the seasonal fruits. Maybe I should think about making one big "fruit-cocktail" type of wine and go from there...any thoughts on that?

 

[RAMROD]

I would like to try it!!!!

 

[MedPretzel]

I made a tutti-fruity wine once. I didn't like it, but I think it had rather to do with the amount of strawberries I used (too much).





But if you have the right blend of strong/bland fruits, I think you might have a very good chance of making a very delicious wine!





Keep us posted!

 

[Maui Joe]

True, this issue surfaced a few times in the past. What to do with high acid fruits...what base should I use...okay, like you said (strong/bland)....like a wild high acid sour cherry, with a Niagara base,...Hmmmm..complimenting?

 

[MedPretzel]

I was thinking more like Strawberry......... Sour cherry?





Or Niagra..........elderberry?

Scuppernong-Peach? Hhmmm......

Columbus took a chance and now he's part of history...

 

[MedPretzel]

Hahaha, I got one that would for sure put me in the history books, "Fine-Vine-Wines Most Wanted Criminals":


Cabbage - Onion - garlic

 

[geocorn]

Why would you want to waste onions and garlic on wine? I just love both, but in wine?


You would make the FVWMWC list!

 

[Maui Joe]

Tell me you didn't...or did you? I bet you can though.

 

[Hippie]

hehehe...


She did!

 

[Maui Joe]

I am smiling you know!

 

[Hippie]

I reckon one might use alot of those wines in cooking and making sauces, etc. I cannot imagine me drinking an onion or garlic or cabbage wine, although I eat all 3 regularly.

 

[Maui Joe]

I too love all three, drinking it I don't know. Just might "sip" a tsp. full if available...then I really don't know if I would or not. Emeril Lagase might!

 

[Hippie]

Emiril is my favorite cooking show. His style of cooking is fun and creative.

 

[Maui Joe]

Heh CW...looks like you got hooked up today?

 

[MedPretzel]

Yahoo!

 

[Hippie]

Oh yeah! This thang is samokin!

 

[MedPretzel]

I can see the smoke in Ohio.

 

[Hippie]

Smoke gets in your eyes. Smoke on the water. Where there's smoke there's fire. Smokin' 45. Smokin'. etc.
