Make Homeade Wine



There's a brand new resource available for home wine-making enthusiasts called "Making Great Wine" that guides you every step of the way towards making professional quality wines, time after time. Believe me, it's different than anything else on homemade wine making you've ever seen.


In it, you'll learn how to easily make:


* Fruit wines: raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, grape, plum, cherry.


* Dried fruit wines: currant, apricot, date, sultana.


* Stewed fruit wines: elderberry, prune, raisin, crab-apple, loganberry.


* Root wines: parsnip, potato, sugar-beet, beetroot.


* Other vegetables: celery, runner beans, pea-shuck, carrot.


* Flower and sugar wines: clover, dandelion, elder-flower.


* Party drinks: mint-julep, hot punch, ginger beer.


* My favorites: carrot whisky, Westcott Schnapps, wheat wine, orange wine, peach brandy, ginger wine, and many more!


Besides tasting great, there is a flood of scientific evidence is coming in to support the health benefits of red wine consumption. A mountain of scientific evidence is building up to support the contention that two glasses of red wine a day have beneficial health results. From the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, from preventing food poisining, dysentery and so-called "traveler's diarrhea" to reduction in human mortality rates, the benefits of red wine consumption are piling up. Indeed, more than 100 scientific reports have been published since 1991 providing strong evidence that moderate wine consumption can be part of a healthy lifestyle.


So, if you're interested in staying healthy and making your own great tasting wine, then I recommend you visit my favorite site on the subject.

A Housewarming Wine Artilce for Your Viewing

Plans Aren't Wine, And They Don't Always Age Well


The following crossed my desk recently. The author gave me permission to share her story:

"Please alert people to something we're experiencing right now - having to clean up the mess of someone not naming more than one person as beneficiary on a life insurance policy. We are having an impossible time trying to get the funeral expenses paid for my sister and my mother. They died within four days of each other, and they left each other as beneficiary of their life insurance policies.

'If the person listed as a beneficiary dies, the insurance benefit goes into their estate.

'The problem is, neither of them had a will, either."

(Aside: This means that both estates, the mother's and the daughter's, will have to be probated by the Court, and the Court will decide who gets what. The process can be lengthy, and it can be expensive. The family might not see the funeral money for a while.)

"Also, please alert people to be sure that the person they choose to be their medical decision maker - the person who has Medical Power of Attorney - is willing to do what they would want done. Review the mental capacity of the appointed person regularly.

'My 85 year old Mother couldn't bring herself to honor my sister's Living Will that said she wanted to be allowed to go. The doctor wouldn't write a letter stating Mother wasn't capable of making these decisions for my sister, who was in a coma.

'So, my sister was put on life support, even though there was no hope that she would ever awaken or live a productive life. She lingered for months on a ventilator.

'My family and I wish we had thought about all these things sooner. We are taking a closer look at our own papers now."

She is soooo right.

Life insurance is something we all tend to forget about. When you started that new job, you made out your employer's insurance beneficiary papers on the first day. Have you thought about them since?

What about your Medical and Financial Powers of Attorney (you do have them, don't you?). If you've designated your spouse on one or both, what happens if you're in an accident together? Is there a secod person named who can step in?

If you made arrangements for your children when they were babies, are there things you should change now thatthey're older? Now that several years have gone by, would you still appoint the same people to care for your children in the event of a catastrophe?

Do you have a will? If not, some stranger in a black robe is going to be making decisions for you one day.

What about your parents? If one of them has passed away, has the survivor made the necessary changes to legal documents?

If one parent is in poor health or getting confused, is he or she still the only one legally appointed to make decisions for the other?

This doesn't really have anything to do with your age. Everyone over the age of 18 should give some thought to these questions, and then take action. Should you do something about it right now, before something goes tragically wrong?

You Betcha!

Atwater Estate Vineyards 2007 Vidal Blanc

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:17:02 -0800
Today's review is going to be a lot like its subject -- easy going. Vidal blanc, a French hybrid grape, is a grape that doesn't get enough respect (a problem many hybrids face) but it does particularly well in the cool climate of the Finger Lakes where it's winter hardiness makes it a somewhat safer choice than vinifera varieties. And, with flavors that are a bit riesling like, it fits right in with the aromatic whites that make the region so exciting. And this is one of the best Vidals I've ha

Wine Blogging Wednesday #53 - Wine for Breakfast!

Tue, 13 Jan 2009 16:11:58 -0800
El Jefe (Jeff Stai) of El Bloggio Torcido (the Twisted Oak Winery blog) has presented an interesting Wine Blogging Wednesday theme this month: Wine for Breakfast! Or, more accurately, Wine with Breakfast Food. No sparkling wines, nor dessert wines are allowed - only dry red or white table wines. I do love breakfast foods of all sorts but don’t generally think of the wine pairing possibilities. I decided to make some sort of omelet (which may end up being scrambled eggs, depending on which pan

Must Love Wine | Pairing Food With Sweet Wines

Sat, 22 Mar 2008 10:33:59 PDT
There are two methods to making sweet wines. Those that are naturally sweet (like late harvest chardonnays) and those that are fortified (like port & sherry) to make them sweeter. They are fragrant, syrupy and have an array of complex flavors. Balanced with a lively acidity they are a good end to any meal.

Mon, 24 Mar 2008 17:01:08 PDT
I stumbled across this purely by accident while at the liquor store to pick up some cognac. I love Anchor Steam and saw the Old Foghorn and decided to try it. Anchor Old Foghorn is a barley wine which is an old-style brew known for its big, aromatic flavors, malty character and high alcohol content.
