So I have to throw a dime in there to prove I took the picture, or ten pennies or something?

I've been gone from this forum a long time and was doing some research, figured I'd bump this thread with a caveat: apple cider vinegar does indeed work best with smoky flavored sauces I've made. However, I've also noticed that if you use it, simmering the sauce until the vinegar odor is gone...

I've been making wine for a while now, if you have any questions shoot me a message and I'll get you some online resources to use. One thing that hasn't been touched on, but goes for wine as well as hot sauce: cleanliness. Especially with wine, if you don't sanitize your equipment you're...

I got a tannat from South Africa that was very good, I'll see if I still have the bottle somewhere.

10 bucks US for a bottle for the Rosemount shiraz. Not bad at all.

For those who love subtlety the 1.5s aren't the best shot. For those like me, who like one good characteristic played to the hilt, they can be awesome or complete flops. Rosemount is a reliable producer and their shiraz is pretty universally liked. At my friend's restaurant they go through...

No need to over spend for pinots to be honest. That hasn't been my thing for a while now though, I'm not sure who is doing good stuff at a lower price. I've been sticking with regional wines mostly and pinot noir is a bitch to grow here in the northeast. Still, Jamesport has a good one, one...

I'd recommend you start with Wine for Dummies. It's what I started with, and it gives you a good background. You could go to http://www.winepress.us/ which is a site I visit fairly regularly for home wine makers. You won't find that many reviews there, but they are a good general resource...

It's basically just a hold over from the fact that wine is/was seen as high brow. But you're denying yourself some good experiences if you're not getting into wine, because great bottles can be had for 20 bucks easily these days, and even less if you take the time to look. For example there's...

Just head toa brew shop and get a regular no frills still. Tell the guy you're using it to extract essential oils or something. No big deal. Or, I've noticed local welding shops tend to hsave plans laying around and can generally knock one out in short order. it's not hard at all.

Use Torres' Sangre De Toro which is a mix of Grenache and Carignane, some sugar, and some fruit flavored vodka, preferrably berry flavored, and you've got a great port substitute.

Hello all. This is my first post here. I make my own wine, have made my own port, and am now looking into making my own hot sauces. If you can find some and want a real good dessert wine, try and find Duck Walk's Blueberry Port. It's a port made on Long Island, NY, and it's the only sweet...
