Mourning SarahRides devastating loss.

Mopping and wet vac-ing my basement. :-( After spending the day wading through 1" of wine and glass, it looks like I've been stomping my own grapes!

 

[Daisy317]

Just bottled a batch of fruit wine and cherry skeeter... Now if only I had time to drink some...

How've y'all been? Long time no see...

Picked my measly supply of Black Currants today, man did my bushes take some damage from the winter!! I retreived about 1/2 of a gallon bag in which Ill most likely get a can of Vintners Harvest and add this to it for a 3 gallon batch. Also just cooked up some steak and Corn on the cob on the grill, delish!

Went kayaking this afternoon. Beautiful day on the lake.
Daisy good to see you back again. Are you entering the competition this month out there in Gods country by you.

How much rhubarb do you have to start with

Had a great day yesterday. Today my 4 y/o and I are going to venture out either to the bike trail for a long walk/ride or to Raccoon for some canoing and fishing.

I didn't get any rhubarb this year. I've just got too much wine on hand! We do love it though. Spiced rhubarb is nice... they call it German Style. Just a hint of spice... not "in your face".

I just finishing unwrapping 4lbs of Starlight mints. (I'm probably going to bring up the candy cane wine thread because I have a question or three) Squeezed the peach bag in the primary that is in day 4 of fermenting and still going crazy. Checked on the beer I brewed yesterday and it is fermenting and bubbling nicely.

Went out to Raccoon with my daughter and the canoe. We spent about 3 hours there and she caught a 6" perch. She was excited.

JUST bottled my Muscat Wine!! I have misplaced ALL my original data from it so who knows what the ABV is, but who cares really, it tastes nice and thats all that matters to me! Its not the best muscat ive ever had. in my defense ive been really busy and its been aging in the carboy for well over a year I think....

Well, I think you are right it has been aging a little over a year and that is all I can help you with.

Are you making any other wines? If not you better start, wine cellars dry out pretty quick when you least expect it.

Cleaning bottles!

I've got our guest bath tub full of bottles, soaking in a hot solution of Oxy-Clean. Been collecting bottles from the local restaurants, so I'm going to really work on these since some have been sitting outback of their establishments.

 

[ibglowin]

Good call on that one!

 

[tonyt]

This is where I spent the last four days in silence, on the banks of the Mississippi, just south of Baton Rouge, La. Manrisa House of retreats.

 

[Runningwolf]

That is beautiful. I'd like to see the rest of the grounds.

 

[SpoiledRotten]

That is beautiful, Tony. Nothing more majestic than a drive lined with old and mighty "White Oaks".

Last night, I unpacked my new 90 bottle drying tree along with the bottle squirter thing that goes on top, and a new container of One Step. Just in time for cleaning all of these bottles.
I also got a call from the owner of the Wines and Spirits shop that I have frequented in the past year and a half, letting me know that he has a supply of empty wine bottle for me. Another "just in time" moment/opportunity for me.
