Big wine conference being held this week. I bet there's some rare bottles in town.
Rubes Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I make beer, although not as much lately. Bottling is hell, so I'm moving to a miniature keg system. Aside from the bottling, making beer is just plain awesome.

mead107 Posted February 7, 2007 Author Posted February 7, 2007 Do I drink wine? Naahhhhh. do you have a collection or buy and drink ?
taterhill Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 I have thought about making it next year..my inlaws have a couple hundred acre grape farm...it smells so good out there in the fall....mmmmm grapey...
MattyT Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 do you have a collection or buy and drink ? I've had numerous short-term collections. They usually last from the time I get the bottle home to the time I get it open.
KD in CA Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Last year I had the rare treat to drink a wine that was bottled the year I was born.
Chef Jim Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 do you have a collection or buy and drink ? Both. I have a cellar of wines that are aging for the long haul (CA cabs, Bordeaux, Port). And have quite a few wines that I buy that are good but inexpensive and don't require age that I drink on a regular basis.
Chef Jim Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Last year I had the rare treat to drink a wine that was bottled the year I was born. What wine and what year? I was born in 1961 and that was one of the best bordeaux years ever until the 2000 vintage. I'd get one but don't feel like taking out a second mortgage.

I still drink beer at most Bills games . I still like to drink Vodka and tonic some times . How many make wine ? How many make Beer ? How many grow ??? Wine GOD I'm not a big wine guy. I like the stuff, but I couldn't tell a $200 bottle from a $6 bottle. There's always some in the house, mostly whatever the girlfriend picks up. I'm pretty impartial but I seem to prefer whites over the reds, but reds work too... I am a big fan of vodka; Ketel One and tonic is my #1 drink and has been for a while. I am also considering dabbling in the scotch after witnessing Bobber's performance that I detailed in another thread. I'm not sure if anyone here has visited the Czech Republic, but if you have been, I'm sure you tried some Slivovitz. The stuff is magic.... Beer is a gift from the gods and I thoroughly enjoy it. I can't say I've had too many bad beers. Literally, if you put it in front of me, I'll drink it. I can put back the fancy micros for taste, or I can get bombed off of Blue Light. I pretty much run the gamut. There have been times where I thought an ice cold Miller High Life in the bottle was the best thing I've ever tasted... I do not make wine or beer.... I'm 28, I think I'm done growing.... In honor of this thread, I may have some wine tonight. What's a good bottle to grab on the way home???

beerme1 Posted February 7, 2007 Posted February 7, 2007 Mouton Cadet is a very nice $11 bottle of wine. No whites for me thanks.
Rubes Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 Same here, which is why I moved to the Party Pig. That's exactly what I'm moving to! Do you like it?
MattyT Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 That's exactly what I'm moving to! Do you like it? Love it! Takes the pain out of bottling and its fun to ask friends if they want one from the tap.

rockpile Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 You should come to Rochester. Big wine conference being held this week. I bet there's some rare bottles in town. I prefer the 3 for $10 - 750ml bottles of Italian wine at the local liqour store. Reds are my favorite: Shiraz, Merlot, Cab Sav, Chianti - specially from Italy or South America White wines I like: Pinot Blanc, Riesling, "white" Chadonnay (not aged in wooden barrels) and Vergennes. Favorite winery: Arbor Hill - a few miles north of Monica's Grape Pies.
MattyT Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 The Party Pig? Had that one too, but traded up for the other model. They both hold about the same amount of beer though.
BillsFanNC Posted February 8, 2007 Posted February 8, 2007 I have brewed my own beer for about 12 years. I started out making extract beer on the stovetop in 5 gallon batches. I now crack my own grain, mash and boil out in the driveway making 10 gallons per batch. There is nothing better than good homebrew. I have heard mixed reviews on the party pig over the years in homebrewing circles. I know some brewers that didn't want to go all out for the full kegging system that have raved about the Tap-A-Draft system. Brew on!
