Unfortunately the website restricts photo memory size too much.

So I can't show a photo of the finished pasteurized cherry wine.

But it tastes so good !!!

Pasteurized cherry wine? You really haven't got a clue. Have you?

I hope you mean the cherries.

Cherries and pasteurization are not things that belong to anything I would describe as wine. It wouldn't surprise me if he drank it with ice in it.

I'd tend to agree but Latour Burgundies are pasteurised and to be fair a wine is just fermented fruit so a cherry wine would be such a thing, just not a 'great' or 'good' one.

Me too and with an ice-cream float.

Here's an aside, you know why we have the abomination of blended whiskey? Because the Americans didn't like it that their 'Scotch' went cloudy with ice in it, so the whiskey makers found a way to stop this, part of which involved it being filtered through asbestos and various other atrocious processes(thank you to Iain M Banks for such info )

Although if you like French wine then America is owed a debt as in the past French vines were pretty much wiped out by disease and it was re-imports from America that saved the industry.

I'm not a wine snob. There's nothing wrong with making wine out of whatever you like and, if you want to pasteurise it, who cares, though why you'd go to the trouble beats me. My point is, that if you make such wine, it's hardly something to boast about.

Or to stick pages of it on a forum, thats what blogs are for.

It is finally noon so I think I will have a small glass of the new cherry wine to go along with my lunch.

It tastes like pinot noir only sweeter.

Noon is a good time for the first glass of wine of the day.

Wine is good for you.

My homemade wine is especially good because it has no added chemicals nor sulfites.

It has been clarifying itself in the fridge for the past 2 days.

It is finally noon

I think of noon as being sort of half way there, rather than final.

so I think I will have a small glass of the new cherry wine to go along with my lunch.

Where is your lunch going?

It tastes like pinot noir only sweeter.

Dry wine is more sophisticated.

Wine is good for you.

Actually, like all alcohol, it's bad for you. But please don't let that stop you.

My homemade wine is especially good because it has no added chemicals nor sulfites.

I hope you didn't forget to add the angel's kiss in spring.

It has been clarifying itself in the fridge for the past 2 days.

You can't beat vintage wine.

My lunch is going from the stove top to my desk top so that I can work while I eat.

The wine is going from the bottle in the fridge to the glass on my desk.

The Russians have proved that alcohol is the only way you can clean out your arteries of congestive plaques. So the notion that alcohol is bad is purely Puritan and pure foolishness.

Everyone who drinks must set a limit. My limits are 1 glass at lunch per day, 2 glasses per dinner per day, and maybe more on Fridays or Saturdays in the evenings. No more.

Fridays and Saturdays are great evenings to clean out your arteries completely !!

Riveting, start a blog or post on wastebook.

Why would one want a sweeter pinot noir?

If he's a pisshead sure.

Wine is good for you.

Well red grape wine appears to be medically sound but not if you start at one.

My homemade wine is especially good because it has no added chemicals nor sulfites.

Does he know that sulfites get produced during fermentation? Although I agree that wines without added sulphur do taste different but they can also go off big style and generally don't appear to keep well.
As an aside, what is the problem with sulphites anyway? Is there any medical evidence they are harmful in the small doses you find in most wines or is this another of those American 'passive' smoking things?

Sounds vintage.

This'll probably do his health more harm than all the sulphites in France.

[Harbal]

That is very cooperative of it. My lunch always steadfastly refuses to budge until I go and get it myself.

The wine is going from the bottle in the fridge to the glass on my desk.

Do you have to open the fridge door for it or does it do it itself?

The Russians have proved that alcohol is the only way you can clean out your arteries of congestive plaques. So the notion that alcohol is bad is purely Puritan and pure foolishness.

Oh well, if that's what the Russians say. The Russians are a highly respected source of reliable information, so you're on solid ground, there.

Fridays and Saturdays are great evenings to clean out your arteries completely !!

Did the Russians tell you that?
