| Catawba Grapes for Winemaking | 27 Jul 2009 00:43 GMT | 3 |
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.

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.

I need some advice. I had 2 perfectly clear reds from 2006...a cabernet which was a bit too acidic, and a blend of other reds that had a higher pH. I blended them to get a less tart wine, but within 1-2 days, I noticed that the blend developed a precipitate. The wine

| Quick wine made from store-bought concentrate | 12 Jul 2009 08:51 GMT | 10 |
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 ...

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
