What are you making and what have you made ???

[Runningwolf]

Presque Isle and they were ice cold when I brought them home. Brew belts are awesome. I picked up Cab Franc, Zinfandel, Malbec and Carmenere. Who knows, 24 months from now when they are in prime I may even like the dry reds! LOL

 

[bchilders]

I just bottled a 5 gal batch of Malbec from juice I purchased last fall from CA. I am showcasing it later this month but also need to make room for some Chilean Carmenere juice and grapes due to arrive this week. I have a Viognier ready to bottle, a Cab, Blackberry and Nesbitt Muscadine aging.

WOW, I never listed everything before, By George, I impressed myself!

Juile

Julie I am impressed. I also made Candy Cane and it took three years to clear. I was suprised as I transferred over the years how the red color disipated and instead have a goldish color. The final taste has a lingering hazelnut taste. How did your turn out? Did it taste like pepermint?

Hi Peggy,

Well mine didn't last past January. I added some peppermint extract to give it a good peppermint flavor and backsweeten with some more candy canes to give it it's color. It was a pale pink color and a huge hit with everyone who had a glass. I truly enjoyed it and currently have another batch going.

OMG, i see all this with these big lists. I am a total newbie, but right now i am making a blueberry pomigranite white merlow kit. I have a great mentor who is teaching me and having me taste different steps so i can see how the wine is changing. In 3 weeks i will be bottling it!

That is awesome that you have a mentor and by the sounds of it, he is making sure you have a great learning experience. Believe it or not, it won't be all that long before you have a big list for yourself

I started this great hobby in July 2010 and like most things in my life I jumped in and never looked back. Listing everything that I made makes me realize how much of an obsession this hobby has become! I really wouldn't have it any other way! The following is my list some of them are excellent and honestly some ended up becoming drain cleaner but we learn from our mistakes.

Pjd:

I see you've done a lot of the Vino Italiano kits. Do you modify them in any way? I'm still very new to this game but I have the Barolo bulk aging and the Cabernet Sauvignon in secondary. Since you've done quite a few, I assume your experience has been pretty good.

Jim, I do like the Vino Italiano kits. I think they are a great value and although they rarely would make a $20 bottle of wine they are as good as most $10 and under wines.
I do a few tweaks sometimes adding a pound of raisins, usually adding some oak and I do quite a bit of blending.
Some of my earliest Vino Italiano kits are now nearing 2 years old and I enjoy them more than most commercial wines.
