Death By Grape

What on earth is that thing--how am I supposed to fit it in my Blu-Ray player?

It's starting to occur to me more and more frequently that I'm as old as dirt--in some ways. This inter-web thingy is a miracle that I couldn't have envisioned when I was a callow young hoyden, using a reel-to-reel VCR (Google it, kids). Case in point, YouTube--who'd have thought you could share movies of such fascinating things as people getting hit in the groin with millions of other like-minded folk around the world, all for free and all on your own?

Man, I should have covered up that beauty spot before they started shooting. Good hair, though.

So, it's time to share! Our production team (Go Maverick!) kindly converted our new DVD, 'I Made This' to YouTube-ready clips, and I've uploaded them for all to see.

1. Introduction
2. Before You Begin
3. Primary Fermentation
4. Fining and Stablising
5. Bottling

Quality is youtubey, but you'll get the goods: how to make that kit right, fast and great, the very first time out. If you'd like to see the whole thing in DVD-quality video, your friendly Winexpert Retailer can get 'em for you--they're available now!

And, if you'd like to make a copy of the DVD to share with friends and family, why go right ahead! I'm not the MPAA (alhtough it's easy to mistake us in dim light after a few drinks) so the lessons we learned in kindergarten (sharing is good!) apply, there's no copy protection and it's all happy.

I'm really proud of the work we did on the DVD, and the team that put it together, and I hope you'll get as much out of watching it as we all did making it.
