You are all to blame.

My Cabernet Sauvignon is close to a year old now. My wife likes it so much she won’t drink store bought wine any more. That has me on overtime making wine. I also have a Merlot close to a year old that she also likes a lot. Right now I have six gallons of Argentina Malbec and six gallons of Brunello that have both been aging for around four months. I need to get another six gallons of Cabernet Sauvignon fermenting. In all seriousness thanks to everybody for your help getting started. It is greatly appreciated.

Hey get adventurous - try a "Country Fruit Wine" something like Peach (If she likes white wines) Tart cherry, Blackberry, Blueberry, Black Currant.

You can't tell I'm lobbying for fruit wines can you?

Make what you like. Grape wines stew great, fruit wines have their place. They can all be made well.

Brutal how infectious this hobby is! It only adds fuel to the fire when your significant other loves the product. There are much worse things to get involved in.

@Rusty Nesmith, you have been handed THE best excuse for buying more carboys: "My wife made me do it!"

Bask in the glory of those who envy you!

Ladies -- this excuse is omni-directional, it applies to all spouses. Use it if you can!

Mine said, "We have to straighten up your cases of empty wine bottles. I said, "I don't want to throw them away." She said, "No NO, you have to fill them!"

I like your comment and your choice but personally I like dry or semi- dry wines. You give some color to the forum dawg

I agree. It is a good problem to have. My problem is there is only one place near me to buy from and he isn’t cheap. A six gallon glass carboy is around $60.

i believe that 5, 6-gallon carboys would be $170 no taxes charged or 4, 6-gallon and 1, 3-gallon , or 4 , 6-gallon carboys and just a few nicknacks to break that $150 limit,

Thanks I will have to check them out. Right now I am buying some bottles and another Cab Sav kit. Label Peelers is having 40% off and can get 12 bottles for $10. I will be bottling 60 in the very near future.
