I know I am not a big drinker, but I don't understand what some of youdo with your wine. In the thred "what's fermenting" some people havelisted enough wine that is activly fermenting to make in excess of 200bottles! I understand the joy is in the creating. that is for metoo. but what do you do with that much wine? that's almost a bottlea day! some are even more. Is it more of a collection thing? neverto drink some of it? give away as presents? Please understand. I am not trying to be critical. This is mearlyignorance. I like to build things out of wood as well, thoseprojects I can always sell. even then I have a hard time findinghomes when I make more than I can use. I ultimatly had to slow downthe making, as there was no where to put them. how is this handledwith wine??thanks in advance...email: dallyn_spam at yahoo dot complease respond in this NG so otherscan share your wisdom as well!

Personally, I make wine with a few friends, and we split the results.I'm kind of the brains behind the operation so to speak. We split theresults depening on who ponies up the cash for thegrapes/juice/equipment. I'm also involving my parents as well... my father purchase a third of abarrel of chardonnay that I am making. I also plan to give some away as gifts as well, but when all is said anddone, I do drink quite more than the average amount of wine, on a slowweek I will drink 2 bottles, but on a good one 4 isn't out of thequestion. My roommates and friends are usually partaking in some of thewine I drink as well, so it's not all to myself :^)

Your recipe for pork chops marinated in port wine sounds delightful. I will definitely try that. Thanks. And keep the recipes coming - all of you. I enjoy cooking with wine, too.

I agree about posting recipes with wine. Whether cooking with wine in the recipe or with a glass in your hand, I know we all enjoy it. And I made the Brew King Italian Montepulciano kit as my very first, and after 6 months of bulk ageing and about 3 months in bottle, it is fantastic. It's a great wine, and if you haven't tried it yet, please pick up a bottle at your local store. Or hell, just make your own! Christiane

Good choice, I made Jack Keller's jalapeno wine and garlic wine for cooking, my wife loves the jalapeno as a substitute for vodka in a ceasar. Makes a nice lite drink

And you should serve some frizzante, slightly sweet muscat wine at those parties!

Truly, that stuff is a "panty-dropper" (a technical term I just learned from another winemaker). ;^D
