Monthly tasting episode featuring British beer Wine, Beer, or Pop Culture Reference Shatterhand British Beer Tasting Listener Question Doley asks - Any tips on a home wine making kit? Nothing elaborate, but preferably using real grapes, not concentrate. Planning for my retirement. From Steven Sealock, winemaker at Pacific Rim Winery: Home winemaking is like sailing a small boat. Things can go wrong fast. Some small wineries will sell grapes to individuals. Reds are complicated from a color extraction perspective. Whites are arguably easier to make but harder to cold stabilize. From Zeta Cellars, a home winemaker, that makes wine using grapes, and some damn fine ones if I do have to say: High end wine kits can sometimes come with skins. Skins in a wine kit allows the wine maker to get more extraction than a regular kit offers. Making wine from actual grapes will require large investments and a big jump in the learning curve. It’s not for everyone and one can mess up a good product very easily. Have him look up the company RJS on the internet

This week we are starting off the year with a tasting episode. We tried something new this month, and immediately realized what a mistake we’d made….. Wine, Beer, or Pop Culture Reference Solomon Listener Mail Doley asks - Wife bought me a coravin (model 2) as a Christmas gift. I haven’t opened it yet. Do you fellows have any opinion as to if these things actually work? I’ve heard some stories expressing dissatisfaction over long term preservation of bottles. Some claim it’s good if you drain the bottle in a month or so but they’ve used the coravin on an expensive bottle and when they open the same bottle in a year or so the wine has gone to shit. Any input you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

Really liked that stuff. Only downsides are $7.99 a bottle and the fact that it's only 2.8% abv; is it really beer? I'd drink that stuff by the gallon if it was less expensive.

He now lives in the wine forsaken Commonwealth of Philadelphia where he struggles to maintain his sanity in a state that is often cited as being more hostile to wine than… Utah.
