Make Homeade Wine

There's a brand new resource available for home wine-making enthusiasts called "Making Great Wine" that guides you every step of the way towards making professional quality wines, time after time. Believe me, it's different than anything else on homemade wine making you've ever seen.

In it, you'll learn how to easily make:

* Fruit wines: raspberry, blackberry, strawberry, grape, plum, cherry.

* Dried fruit wines: currant, apricot, date, sultana.

* Stewed fruit wines: elderberry, prune, raisin, crab-apple, loganberry.

* Root wines: parsnip, potato, sugar-beet, beetroot.

* Other vegetables: celery, runner beans, pea-shuck, carrot.

* Flower and sugar wines: clover, dandelion, elder-flower.

* Party drinks: mint-julep, hot punch, ginger beer.

* My favorites: carrot whisky, Westcott Schnapps, wheat wine, orange wine, peach brandy, ginger wine, and many more!

Besides tasting great, there is a flood of scientific evidence is coming in to support the health benefits of red wine consumption. A mountain of scientific evidence is building up to support the contention that two glasses of red wine a day have beneficial health results. From the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease to the prevention of cardiovascular diseases, from preventing food poisining, dysentery and so-called "traveler's diarrhea" to reduction in human mortality rates, the benefits of red wine consumption are piling up. Indeed, more than 100 scientific reports have been published since 1991 providing strong evidence that moderate wine consumption can be part of a healthy lifestyle.

So, if you're interested in staying healthy and making your own great tasting wine, then I recommend you visit my favorite site on the subject.

Frugal Feasting and Fun

Fri, 21 Mar 2008 06:40:24 PDT
Over at Frugal Hacks Momadvice has a really good post and comment thread on how the frugal lifestyle can sometimes make us feel intimidated about having people over. We have extra people over to eat at least twice a week, often more. Last year we also had over fifty overnight guests, so I thought I would share a few ideas and give you a closer glimpse into life at my house, too. We do live in a large, very roomy house. We have lived here for two years (this month). It's huge. I do have a large

A Fruit Wine Artilce for Your Viewing

Burgandy, France - Famous For Its Wines

The terroir is a group of vineyards or vines from the same area which have a common soil and climate. And nowhere else, other than Burgundy in France, is it held so fondly.

Burgundy is a region situated in central east France, which experiences bitter cold winters matched with beautiful warm summers. It is the home of 1.6 million inhabitants.

Burgundy (Bourgogne) is famous throughout the world for its wines. Spanning over 31,500 square kilometers (over 12,000 square miles), with a 360 km (225 mi) strip stretching 100km (60 mi) south of Paris, down from south of Dijon to north of Rho?ne, houses 99 different wine appellations.

Ranging from the vibrant red Pommard and Corton to the medium Beaune ? to the sparkling whites, the dry Chablis or Chassagne Montrachet, over 180 million bottles of some of the fines wines are made in this region.

As an aftermath of the French revolution the vineyards belonging to the monasteries were broken down to smaller plots ? which exist even today.

The finest quality wine, designated as ?Premier Cru? ? is available from 600 of the vineyards in the region while 33 of them is credit to produce the even more classy ?Grand Cru? wines. Among these the most renowned are Montrachet, Chambertin and Clos Vougeot.

Made from the pinot noir grapes, the burgundy red wines taste best with Boeuf Bourguignon or pheasant. On the other hand a Chablis or their sparkling white wines go best with anything from shrimps to goat cheese.

The famous white wine called Chablis derives its name from a village of the same name. These are dry whites with an acidity that refreshes. The special Chardonnay grapes thrive in limestone that has been made richer with remains of fossils.

As an accompaniment to lamb or grilled chicken, the best choice is the fruity-flavored, world famous Beaujolais made from the Gamay grape. These grapes grow in granite limestone.

The ever-popular and delicious red is grown in Volnay for the last 8 centuries. The grapes are Pinot Noir grown across 600 acres which is responsible in producing 1.3 million bottles of this amazing wine which has the flavors of raspberries and violets.

And then there is Meursault, located close by, famous for its Premier Cru labels of finest white wines. 2.5 million bottles of the finest wine, Chardonnay, aged anywhere between 3 to 15 years is grown in just over 1000 acres. Fish in white sauce go extremely well with this fine wine with its almond and apple flavors.

But what still makes the headlines is the red Pommard with its tannic and manly flavor, staging a comeback after many years of decline. From just 780 acres of Pinot Noir grown in limestone and red clay are produced 1.8 million bottles of this wine with the flavors of black cherry and black currant. Goes excellent with game venison and roasted red meat with Livarot cheese, these can age from 5 to 15 years.

Whatever your taste buds need, there is very little chance of returning home disappointed with a Burgundy.

My Killer App Candied Peanut Recipe

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 23:53:03 PDT
Let's get right to the point: this is my killer app recipe, the one I go to more than anything else. I could tell a million stories about this, but I'll just skip all that stuff for now and scoot right to the goods. I love these peanuts! Not only are they absolutely scrumptious and the easiest candy you can make, but if you keep a sack of raw almonds or peanuts on hand, you can make them in about 10 minutes. Tied into a little sack, they're a great hostess gift in lieu of a bottle of wine (an

Jump to the full entry & travel map Rome, Italy Well I was suppose to go to Switzerland this weekend but school interfered so I settled for one last weekend in Rome. As always, it turned out to be very fun and quite productive. After writing one 10 page paper I decided I needed a break so we went to the catacombs of San Calisto. These are the largest catacombs in Rome. They originated as private tombs of the second century and become the official tombs of the Roman

With today being Earth Day and Election Day (here in Pennsylvania) and tomorrow being Tax Freedom Day, I just felt that it was time to sit down and evaluate how making your own wine and beer relates to all 3 days. Earth Day - The biggest thing this Earth Day is the climate changes and our carbon footprint. Personally, I'm still not sure on the whole global warming/climate change thing but carbon footprinting is something that I can see. If possible, you should grow as many of the ingredients fo
