OT Wine Recommendation Thread

[quote=waterboy]Does a device such as the Vinturi Essential Wine Aerator really do much, or will you taste a huge difference in decanting for an hour?[/quote]

A friend whose dad owns a liquor shop tells me the Venturi works pretty well, but there is nothing like decanting. For some reason, I am too cheap to spend the $40 on it though.

Maybe I missed this question in the thread? Has anyone drank wine that they, or a non-expert friend made that was pretty good? How many tries did it take them? How much did they make?

Does anyone like blackberry wine? I just googled it and some review of a Mogen David was very complimentary. Curious, because I planted a bunch of blackberries. They have the potential to produce well the second year.

It would be interesting to make a Pigg get together around trying our homemade wines.

somewhat OT from the OT of this thread, but apolitical, is the question of why Temecula wines are so high. I WANT to buy temecula wines but just cannot because theya re too expensive. i can get great stuff from EUROPE cheaper than temecula. what’s up with that? is it real estate prices?[/quote]

hahaa, my thinking exactly. If a person was told from the beginning that the $2/bottle taste was the best, then that $2-wine would be selling for $100 a bottle and vice versa now.[/quote]
