Riunite Lambrusco for cooking beef, steak, and spaghetti sauce. A cheap wine, good to drink when still a bit fizzy and cold. When flat , great for cooking.

I’M NOT SURPRISED THAT THERE IS A SURPLUS. NO ONE HAS MONEY LEFT AFTER STATE AND LOCAL TAXES TO BUY TOILET PAPER.

I think it’s Americans trying not to be fat. First the shift from beer to wine and now from wine to spirits.

Insofar as it is tied to a recognition of excess simple carbs not being good for you, I suppose it is a good thing.

We use a yeast that has a ‘die-off’ point when the alcohol reaches 15%. Store-bought wine is usually around 10%. Yes, you have to be VERY careful drinking our wine!

You’re having waay too much fun. :)

These people need to stop wining. Pressing problems? There’s more than one way to skin a grape.

Besides Manischewitz; do you know of another Jewish wine?


When are we going to the Hamptons this year?

I’m happier when I stay with beer, and away from wine and spirits :-)

I was never a wine drinker until I got together with my sweetie. His drink was Sangria. I usually enjoyed a bourbon or rum mixed with a liqueur. But his mother made wine & when she passed away, Sweetie inherited all her wine-making paraphernalia. The house we bought together had apple, plum, pear, & cherry trees, along with a very old grape vine. Way too much fruit to eat, so we decided to try wine-making. It took us a while to finally make something worth drinking, but we’ve one ribbons at the OR State Fair (until someone realized there was a law against taking home brew out of the home dating from prohibition). We even won silver & golds at the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival. That was fun!
