I really enjoy reading this food forum. I don't see much about wine here though. I really thought I would see more. As everyone here one of my hobbies are watches. My other passion is winemaking. I am very active in a few winemaking forums and moderate at a couple. I love big dry red wines and am particular toward Italian wines. I make everything though from White Zin, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, etc. to Country Fruit wines such as raspberry, blueberry, Muscadine as well as Meads.

Does anyone else here make their own wine? I make mostly kits and country wines from fresh fruits. Some of the kits I have made would rival any commercial wines that can be bought. I am getting ready to move into beer making to add to my hobby list. If you don't have anything better to do feel free to look at this tutorial I made for one of the forums I moderate on how to make wine from a kit and get a chuckle. I had a great time putting it together. It kind of lost its format though when they archived it. Just thought I would throw this out there to try to contribute to the forum.

One of the most impressive (and entertaining) posts about wine-making I ever read! Thanks so much for sharing, Steve! thankyou.gif!

What watch would you recommend for the process, btw?

Very informative indeed. hand6.gif But you need to be a little less camera shy - come out of your shell...  heh... loved it.   But I gotta deduct 5 pts for failure to wear a watch during the process... :shock:   Thanks for sharing Steve...

I usually take my watch off when I make a batch. Many times I have to stick my hands into the liquid and I don't want to introduce any bacteria into the wine such as gunk between the links of a bracelet. My arms are normally sanitized up to the elbows. I noticed in some pics I have my wedding band on. I normally take it off as well.

I can't believe how fat I was then to. Those pics were taken about 3 years ago. I have dropped 50 pounds since then. Goes to show you what good food will do to you. I moved to Louisiana 9 years ago with a 30 inch waist. The food is amazing here plus I married an Italian lady who can cook. Before I knew it I was wearing size 42 pants. I have made it back down to 36-38 pants but it is tough I tell ya.
