Niagara Grapes for Winemaking 
  I might have enough room for another grape in my city lot. I have Catawba and Concord right now, two plants of each. I've read that Niagara grape vines grow fast and maybe too fast, that they take over a space quickly and like to spread. Is this one to avoid because of this? Is it a good grape for winemaking?... more »

Catawba Grapes for Winemaking 
  My wife bought me a couple of Catawba grape plants. I will be making a trellis, etc., but I have a question about using them in wine. The Catawba wine I've bought in stores always has 49% of some other grape in the wine, and 51% Catawba. Why is this? From what I've read, it does make good wine, jelly, jam, etc.... more »

first tasting of 2008 vintage 
  I went to a BBQ at my Mom's house this afternoon and I took two bottles of my 2008 peach and my 2008 blackberry wine. The blackberry wine was very good, but the peach wine was still a little raw. Still, the alcohol content was there and the BBQ was a very pleasant party for all. I plan on letting the remainder of the bottling sit until about... more »

Sparkolloid 
  I've never had to use fining agents on my wines but I've had a pear wine that didn't want to clear so I used some Sparkolloid Powder. It's cleared the wine but whenever I try to draw the wine out, the finings get stirred up with any minor move of the siphon. Is there a fix for this? Dick

Picking Flowers for Mead/Wine Flavor 
  I've made a few batches of rose flavored mead over the years by adding petals to the batch and plan on another batch this year. Does anyone have opinions about the best time of day to pick the roses? I know, the stock answer is "while ye may", but does time make any difference? I would think that morning would be best, before the heat and light of... more »

Quick wine made from store-bought concentrate 
  For about a year now, I've been enjoying (what I find to be) some curiously tasty wine made from Langer's frozen apple juice concentrate. I find it at my local Safeway grocery store. Being frozen, it has no sorbates or benzoates, but it's got ascorbic acid, which turns out be a bit of a help. What makes the taste "curious" is that I don't fully reconstitute the... more »
