Funny story in The Derrick News Herald:
&#8220;Authorities in central Pennsylvania who were called to investigate a suspicious odor at an abandoned house thought they had found a meth lab.
It turned out to be an old winemaking operation.
Police in North Cornwall Township searched the home’s basement and discovered fivegallon pails and hundreds of glass beakers, jars [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I've been away on a little vacation with my awesome almost 7 year old son.  We flew out to Edmonton, Alberta and enjoyed most of the time - spent in Whitecourt and a couple of trips, one through Fort Assiniboine and then one to Jasper. Not wine making country - but I do enjoy Alberta very much.

		<description><![CDATA[I know of a few fly anglers that also make their own wine. <a href="http://winemaking.jackkeller.net/" target="new">Jack Keller</a> is one, and so is Ernie Kalwa, the <a href="http://www.about-flyfishing.com/library/weekly/aa060529a.htm" target="new">Captain of the Fly Fishing team</a> (The Osprey's) that I used to be a member of.  Not sure which one of us ties the better flies, but I know it's not me! Although I do enjoy doing that.  Today and yesterday, I had two good days to combine my two hobbies. And one advantage a home winemaker has if they've brought a fish back to eat for dinner is that wine selection is not difficult.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever looked at your airlocks popping up and down as carbon dioxide gas is being released and wondered just how much co2 you might be responsible for generating?  There was an interesting discussion started by a user "Dhorton" at the WineMakingTalk forum who was wondering if there was any concern in regard to co2 amounts in their apartment as a result of making wine at home.

Apparently, since Dhorton began making wine, their smoke/carbon monoxide detector was activated a few times. I imagine the detector detects carbon monoxide specifically, and there could be a number of reasons for false alarms including humidity, dust and even bugs getting into the unit. But to a new winemaker, I can understand the concern seeing all these carbon dioxide bubbles coming up and wondering if the quantity is enough to affect the air inside.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About a year ago, I had a friend who "makes" wine at a local store (in other words, my friend pitches the yeast and then helps with the bottling - all the work is done by the store) give me a bottle of a Gewurtztraminer that he had "made."  The bottle was 375 ml in size. I know some folk who will bottle some of their wine in these small size bottles, and I do the same at times.  However, a comment on Jack Keller's blog got me to thinking a bit more about when and why I choose 375 ml over 750 ml, and when I might even select magnum size bottles.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone else noticing an increase in articles and websites that infer they can teach you how to make wine quickly? 

Folks, settle down here! While it is true that you can pitch some yeast into fruit juice which might have some added sugar and in seven days end up with something that contains alcohol, it's not going to be very drinkable - unless you're desperate.  Wine takes time. Yes, home winemaking can be fun, it can save money, and you can create wines that you won't find in many wine stores - but the process to make decent wine requires the same thing the world over: time.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When making wine at home, the usual expression that is used to describe this is "home winemaking." When making beer, folks will often refer to "home brewing."  In actual fact, "brewing" technically speaking refers to steeping something with heat. Think of "brewing a cup of tea."  Recently, I've seen some websites refer to making wine as "wine brewing."]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We didn't see fireworks, but we got a lot of "home winemaking" accomplished, the "wee man" and I.  Here in Canada, it is the "May 2-4" long weekend where the Monday before or on the 24th of May is a holiday to celebrate the Queen's birthday.  It's not really Queen Elizabeth II's birthday, but rather Queen Victoria's day of birth.  Traditionally, the holiday is celebrated with fireworks in the evening, and in the past, the Town has had a fireworks display about ten minute drive.  Tonight, we drove up there but there was nothing. Many were confused about this year's May 2-4 long weekend because it came so early. Some were thinking that it was next week that the holiday weekend landed on]]></description>
