I must say I am small time compared to that but I aspire. I recently purchased 50 acres of prime farmland and am waiting for possession. Within 2 years I will have full control of my main wine ingredients.

I use minimal chemicals on my plants if any at all. In the past I have used Frank's hot sauce and water to keep critters out of my strawberries and fishnet to keep birds from my grapes. And sulfites - sorry but no. Talk about stomach in knots. This is what started me into winemaking.

The "pee" is so easy to make and so cheap too. It is great to re-use yeast and previous fruit to make complex taste combos

 

[hedgerow-wine]

Last night I just bottled a 2 gallon batch of awesome white Niagra wine, and a 1 gallon test batch of white grape peach that I had aging for nearly a year. I liked the way the white grape peach turned out so I'll have to make more of it. As for the awesome white Niagra, I'll have to post a recipe here on this board some time.

 

[hedgerow-wine]
