White wine for a red wine lover?
Can you make wine from wild grapes?
We have a lot of what looks like wild grape vines growing around our property (we just moved here). We’re not too far from the Prince Edward County wine region, so I don’t doubt that the soil here is good for grapes. Has anyone had any experience using wild grapes for wine or preserves? The grapes themselves are very small and they seem to grow in small clusters about 3-4 inches across. I have only seen them unripened as I think the birds tend to eat them.
I don’t think it’s moonseed. It’s definitely a woody stemmed grapevine with clinging tendrils and serrated-edged broad grape leaves.
I have made wine from kits before, but would like to try it from scratch. I was going to plant wine grapes this year, but thought I’d wait and see what these wild vines yielded first. As you say, who knows? It may be some kind of wondergrape. I’m not holding my breath though.
Where can I find the best locations and info on getting started on wine tasting in Southern California?
whats the difference between white wine and red wine?
What is the way to do wine-tasting in Bordeaux?
We will be spending 3 days in Bordeaux at the beginning of July and would like to do some wine-tasting. Ideally we don’t want to rent a car (none of us can drive a stick and the automatics are way too expensive) – are there easy to reach vineyards/chateaux that we can visit? Also, I know there are a number of famous ones like Chateau Mouton Rothschild – are those open to public? Advice/recommendations are much appreciated!
What to use in place of white wine in this recipe?
Is white wine healthy for you?
Can someone recommend a crisp, buttery white wine for the summer?
Whats a really good wine I can get from the grocery store?
I prefer a red or white wine…
Mostly on the dry side and definately not a dessert wine. I like a really smooth taste as opposed to something too heavy or pungent.
My wine vocabularly is not there so I hope someone can help me out.
Im willing to spend up to $50 bucks but not more.
