Got home from SC around 8:30 this evening. My son came home from Afghanistan and we spent the week in SC visiting. Had the pleasure of meeting Sirs today. Hope to meet again when I have more time to sit and chat.

Right now, I'm enjoying a glass or 3 of wine before retiring for the evening.

Good to be back home....

Good to see you back on the forum, Doug and glad you had a nice trip

 

[Runningwolf]

Sure Doug, you head south when you hear I'll be in your town and also happens to be the same week as our party. LOL Welome back. For those of you wanting to go up to Walkers I see they already ran out of one juice, so plan your trips soon.

Glad I made my trip yesterday. Folks a tip for you. Don't Take 4 Buckets To The Winery Unless You Plan To Fill Them All. I was planning on just getting 2 maybe 3. NOOOOOOOOOO Marilyn said let's get this and this and ooohhh I like this.

Brought back 6 gallons of Diamond and Cayuga and 12 gallons of Vignoles. Gonna start them in a few minutes. It's official. No more Empty Carboys Here.

Sounds like a plan. My son will be going to Presque Isle winery in the next couple weeks for Cataba juice. I told him to take 2 buckets in case he saw anything else he wanted to try.

Things are selling out quick this year. I was just there getting suppies and its hit and miss with the juice. Walkers are already out of two of them also.

Well I went with five buckets and same story. I ended up with 13 gallons of late harvest Vignoles, 14 gallons Vignoles and 7 gallons of steuben. They are sold out of Traminette and Gewurztraminer already.

 

[djrockinsteve]

They told me that they have been really busy. 8 lines out the door on Saturday. Folks don't come for a few gallons. They get a lot! Glad you got what you wanted. I'll be adding yeast tonight. I plan on using Lalvin D-47 as opposed to E-1118. I'll let you know.

Making Garlic wine next?

Making Garlic wine next?

Didn't think about that. Could be interesting. Wonder how much per gallon would be needed.

Seriously though, we like garlic and for $2.00 couln't pass it up. They are bulbs/head (not sure what the bundle is called) about 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Can't wait to roast some garlic and figure out what to make else to make.

 

[Larryh86GT]

Today's plan of the day:
Roasting about 6 lbs of coffee beans
Putting deck carpeting away
Putting deck awning away
Cutting the grass
Changing oil & filters in the cars
Putting snow tires on.

Maybe I'll just take a nap instead.

 

[Runningwolf]

I am also going to start putting away statuary from the gardens, get the snow blower put in the garage so I have room in the shed for all the summer stuff. Cut back all the day lilies and hosta's etc. Leaving the fire pit out on the patio for now hoping for more outdoor fires this month. Hope to get my Orange Chocolate port started today.

Hey Larry why don't you come down and help me and if we have time left we'll head back to Buffalo and put your stuff away.

 

[ffemt128]

Right now just hanging out. Going to head to Trax Farms either today or tomorrow for pumpkins and various other items. Need to pick up some raisins and ginger root also. I'll get the raisins at costco. Need to rack my chablis today into a fresh carboy. Tomorrow or Monday I'll be starting my fall batch of spiced apple wine.

 

[Wade E]

Going to get my Lanza Vineyards (Suisan Valley) Petite Syrah grapes in a few and will be back later with some #'s and some pics for y'all. These are some of the best grapes available to us as home winemakers and cant wait till this batch has some age on it.
