		<description><![CDATA[It has been awhile since I've updated the blog with my winemaking activities. The reason for that is simple: During the warmer months, I can be found more often on lakes and rivers with a <a href="http://about-flyfishing.com" target="new">fly fishing</a> rod in hand, than in the winemaking room. I know many winemakers that start their wines in the summer and autumn when the fruit is being harvested. This means they are taking advantage of whatever local produce is available to them for their wine. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know of a few fly anglers that also make their own wine. <a href="http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/" target="new">Jack Keller</a> is one, and so is Ernie Kalwa, the <a href="http://www.about-flyfishing.com/library/weekly/aa060529a.htm" target="new">Captain of the Fly Fishing team</a> (The Osprey's) that I used to be a member of.  Not sure which one of us ties the better flies, but I know it's not me! Although I do enjoy doing that.  Today and yesterday, I had two good days to combine my two hobbies. And one advantage a home winemaker has if they've brought a fish back to eat for dinner is that wine selection is not difficult.]]></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[Are you one of the many people who enjoy drinking red wine but find that you get headaches after drinking it? You don't get them after drinking white wine but those reds really seem to bring the ache on. Have you like others blamed it on sulfite? If you have, consider that the majority of wines, both red and white, contain sulfite. Sulfites (usually the potassium metabisulfite form) are found in many grocery foods as it is a common preservative that inhibits bacteria growth.

So, it's probably not this common food preservative that is causing those headaches. What else could it be?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm sometimes asked when I tell others that I make my own wine, "Ian, how can I make wine?" As someone else once wrote (I think it was Jack Keller, but I'm not certain right now) my response is "You don't make wine. Yeast make wine."  Sometimes I find it amazing that these single celled organisms are responsible for the turning juice into a beverage that many of us enjoy for it's flavors, aromas, and of course, gently intoxicating effects. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, I've had suspicions for some time that winemaking kit instructions are a bit off when it comes to degassing wine.  Most kit instructions advise, after adding Potassium Metabisulfite (and please please make sure you add the sulfite BEFORE you attempt to degass!!), to stir vigorously a few times for at least a day or two before adding the fining agents. The most recent set of instructions advise that it is vital that the wine be degassed or it will not clear adequately. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It's April Fool's Day. Did you have any pranks pulled on you? I didn't! I'm sure if my older sons were around, I'd have been the subject of some foolish prank or three. I can remember the first time I ever heard about April Fool's Day.  I was about four or five years old, and my mother told me something or other - I can't remember what, but it was outlandish. She then smiled and shouted, "April Fool's Day!"  Then she explained the best she could to a four year old what it meant. I've been known to have pulled a few pranks myself on this day in history. And admittedly, I've been the victim of quite a few too.  When you've spent a lot of your life working shiftwork, it can be easy to not remember what day exactly it is.]]></description>
