    I'm still working toward getting my 2 yr old stock built up. I don't open any bottles until the one year point to try it, and set aside bottles labeled on the end with 2,3,4 & 5 years. It doesn't help that we enjoy a good glass of wine in the evening.

    I have not, but I'm sure willing to be quality control for anyone who does!

    Once upon a time, I made wine out of choke cherries. Got it up to 16%! Also discovered that one should remove the stems or it tastes a bit "green".

    Guess I am spoiled. A friend owns an urban winery and we help there all the time from bringing the grapes down from Lodi, Paso Robles and a few other places....it is fun being in the vines at 0500 helping the pickers. Then the grapes make it to his winery and a group of “Crush Crew” members are waiting and they start the process. Of course after the tow we are handed a glass of wine right away. After dealing with all the traffic to San Diego it’s time for a glass. We usually bring back 8-10,000 pounds of fresh grapes. We have a great time helping out. I even got the God daughter there last weekend to help bottle 150 cases.

    That would be so fun!!!!! I'd love to get involved with winemaking on the commercial side. We have a bunch of boutique wineries here in ohio, what a cool way to spend retirement.

    This will be my first year making wine. Planted 42 Marquette vines three years ago, looking forward to harvest.

    Lets make good wine

    As you can see by my user name I have some interest. I have been making wine for about 25 years. I buy juice and also have a deal with my friends if they bring me fermentables I will make the wine and take half. In response to some of the problems in previous posts without going into lots of details sterility is a must!!! I clean my bottles with cmc or an iodophor and then run them through the dishwasher (no soap) on the "Sanitize" setting or on some washers it is heated dry. Appropriate yeast choice for the type of wine you are making is important to the result. DO not use bread yeast!!!!!!! for you vinegar folks make sure your yeast is fresh and the pitching rate is high enough. I would suggest if you haven't made wine before buy a quality kit like ones by "wine expert" and follow the directions. rack it when they say to because the spent yeast can give it some off flavors. Ferment in a cool dark place away from breezes traffic patterns in the house etc. Most of all Have FUN!
