WMT (Unofficial) Mist Wine Contest

[LoneStarLori]

February is fine. Consider it official. Take your time, folks. We're in no hurry, here. I can push my retriement party back a few weeks. What do I care!

The best part will be getting paid for not working. What a great system! (x10)

How can I apply for that job?

And thanks for the extension. There is just so much going on between now and then, I think it will bring in a few more contenders if they have more time to contemplate a strategy.

just let me know when. I have lots of crappy I mean great wine to send to this. Several kits started in the last month with some tweaks here and there. White Zin and a cranberry malbec. Both looking fine

Hints anyone on what's fermenting? There's not enough posts here.

It has been a little quiet in here. I'm excited to get to try everyone's wines. I bet they're going to be awesome! Not like that Wlech's Contest...

I have 2 possible submissions. One is peach infused, the other pear infused. And BTW, if shipping is going to be stupid-expensy, I'll be driving my submission to Dave. At least I can call it a semi-vacation, visit some family, and pick up some cheap equipment on the journey. Assuming that's cool w/ Dave.

 

[dangerdave]

You are more than welcome, Gina. Just let me know. We'll leave the light on for ya.

My peach apricot Chardonnay looks like it is almost ready to bottle. It tastes good but I don't see it winning any contests. It might get another tweak or two. I just need to figure out how to improve it

 

[peaches9324]

calvin let it age a bit in the carboy the flavors need to integrate a lil more looks good though!

 

[Rodnboro]

Can't wait to taste these. I won't be judging, but I will be tasting!

Looking great everyone! I feel honored with the chance to try them all. Thanks for sticking with us, Joe.

There's still plenty of time for anyone else to join in. Everyone should be asking for kits for (early) Xmas anyway!

 

[chasemandingo]

So I am gonna have to bow out of this one unfortunately. I have caught the beer bug and jumped to the dark side for a little while. Please don't hate me!

 

[LoneStarLori]

Beer? Humpff. You'll never get the women that way

 

[calvin]

Come on everyone! We have room for more contestants. Still plenty of time. Judging isn't scheduled until February. Who else wants in?

What is everyone making? I know this is a competition but there is no reason to keep what your making a secret. As I've posted already, I am making a WE Island Mist Peach Apricot Chardonnay. It's coming along nicely. I may start another kit and send the best of the two?

Good luck every one!

OK I'll let in on my secret. I'm making a strawberry white merlot kit. For my tweak I increased the ABV and also added a few pounds of kiwi berries.

I never heard of kiwi berries before but I figured what the hell.

 

[jojabri]

If my schedule doesn't ease up some, I may not be done in time. Being a coupon clippin' momma is HARD WORK! But were saving like cray-cray for our new home.

We shall see what becomes of my wines.

Anyone wanna volunteer to come help me move my cellar this spring? Lol
