If you are trapped in a wine cellar you are pretty well set.

They were sold at Macy’s a couple of years ago.

While recently visiting Paris I hooked up with an old acquaintance who would be able to get me wines I enjoy directly from the wineries at a lower cost and better availability than in the U.S. I would like to have him ship me these wines directly from France to my home in Chicago. Does anyone know the rules and regulations for doing this? The wine, etc would be for personal use and not resale. Any thoughts on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I say yes, but a friend said she was told it was “a gift for later.” Which is correct?

I heard about Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, etc along with the brand Jacobs Creek, McGuinnan, Lindeman, de Bertoli, etc.

Which one is the good one?
What is the difference between them?

Thanks

Hi
Today we found in the cellar a case of wine.
Most of it was quite recent chilean malbecs but I found a couple of surprises.
First of all a Chilean Casillero del Diablo Cabernet Sauvignon from 1985.
Also in there was a 1991 Eye of The Swan Pinot Noir and a 1994 Marques Concha y Toro Chardonnay.

Do you have any idea how much this is worth, not only in money but in actual value.

I’m going from Las Vegas to San Francisco on vacation, passing through Bakersfield and northward. Can you suggest the best towns to pass through to get a taste of wine country on my way to San Francisco?

Do you have advice about very good/the best vineyards/wineries in the Santa Barbara area?

I would like a place where my friends and I can wine taste for free or cheap ( we are all a bit broke..and I’ve never done this so i don’t know if they are usually free with at least a few bottle purchases, or if you have to pay for wine tasting seperately). We will probably buy a few bottles anyway.

Also, can we bring our own stuff and picnic there? do people do that? is that an additional fee? I’m not sure if we want a tour of the vineyard or the wine making process, buts a nice option to have.
I just don’t know anything. But i do want a nice place with an awesome ambience to have a great time with friends..and hope that it won’t cost an arm and a leg.
I appreciate any advice about specific places in the area. I would also appreciate advice about facts to consider and anything about how things are do

I’ve just made my first batch of mead and it is fermenting now, after fermentation can I add flavours, using real fruits before I rack it?, or ideally should fruit flavours be added at the start. Also if I can add fruit after fermentation what else do I need to consider?

Thanks
