		<description><![CDATA[There are a few things about making my own wine I don't like:  Cleaning and sanitizing bottles, trying to figure out where I'm going to store carboys not in use along with wines I've just bottled, and being disappointed about something.

Today, I'm disappointed. Very very disappointed. Hey, when you're a home winemaker, it can happen. You put a lot of time and effort into trying something - wait two or three years, and with much anticipation - you sniff the aromas and put the liquid to your mouth.  Will it be as good as you hoped?  Was the patience of waiting worth it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For me, learning about how to make wine just never stops. I can remember years ago, making my first wine from a kit and being amazed at the simplicity of home winemaking. Since those first days, I've gone on to make many different fruit wines, meads, and yes - the odd time I have made beer as well.  My preference remains wine although a cold home brew is nice on a hot sunny summer day.

Today, I was browsing through Daniel Pambianchi's book, <i>Techniques in Home Winemaking,</i> (<a href="http://homewinery.info/viewarticle.php?id=56" target="new">my review of the book is here</a>) when I came across a note I had made in it about bentonite.  Daniel writes in his book:]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today was Opening Day of the trout season where I am. Some readers will know that as well as making wine, I also am an avid fly fisher. I had plans to go out this afternoon. The weather forecast originally said it was going to be warm and sunny all day - I figured an afternoon and then into the evening might offer some nice results. However, the forecast changed. Instead of the sunshine, we had wild thunderstorms with winds gusting to 100 KM/H (60 MPH).  I am not too bad at casting in windy conditions - but that is just nuts.  And I certainly don't want to be out on the water with a long piece of graphite while lightning is striking!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've been seeing advertisements and statements to the effect that some "expert" winemaker will teach you how to make wine for free. Can you make wine for free? Absolutely! But it's unlikely it will turn out all that great.  Nothing is really "free" - so I've written a two part series about this.]]></description>

We&#8217;ve already had a number of days where the temperature rises to above freezing during the day, but drops below at night. Perfect weather for collecting sap from the [...]]]></description>

It was started on March 11: Ten days ago. At the time, it had a starting Specific Gravity of 1.104. I used Lalvin EC-1118 yeast. Several days later, I started [...]]]></description>

Sometime ago, I purchased what I thought were 2 lb bags of gooseberries. I bought 10 lbs in all, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did you know that you can count to about 400 while bottling 5 gallons of wine? Well, if you're six years old and you get "messed up" a few times and lose track, you can.  Ok, the six year old wasn't actually bottling the wine, but he was practicing his math skills as he looked at the floor and saw five rows of six bottles and knew I was going to fill thirty bottles.]]></description>

Since April 2006, the carboy has been sealed. I figured I may as well check out this wine and see how it's been doing, three years later.]]></description>
