You will be able to use your master card, visa or discover credit cards on line with secure protection.. WINEMAKERS There are two ways to make wine - either with your own fresh fruit or grapes or with premium fruit or grape concentrates. The equipment used in the process is the same - a primary fermentor, a secondary fermentor, a siphon hose and racking tube, a hydrometer, an airlock and bottles. Premium grape concentrates (Vintner's Reserve or Alexanders) provide hobbyists with quality grape juices or fruit to produce balanced, quality wines. Some hobbyists, however, prefer using their own fruits or grapes. There is more complexity in balancing these raw products but the procedures are still the same. We carry a variety of winemaking books which explain the process very simply. One of our customers requested a Blueberry Port recipe. They were very pleased with the results so we are including it with this newsletter in the left hand column. *This recipe is for the more experienced winemaker.
