Oh yes - I am the UK dealer! But you can't ask me any tricky questions yet still getting upto speed.

I would like to find out more about making Port.
Beer making would be good as well.

Copied from previous post in Grapefest - Whos coming..

"As for talks - what about something like correcting your must to achieve balance between alcohol, fruit weight and acid. Adjuncts (e.g, oak) and sugar feeding. Also wine faults and corrections is a good one, depending on who is there."

I like the Port idea too and Dave's beer making 101. Not tried brewing yet but have felt like dabbling for a while. Would it be sacriligeous to do that at Grapefest? If so then maybe we can discuss it in the margins. But if there is a chance to learn from the QUACK!QUACK!QUACK!QUACK!ing master then I am most certainly in.

What about wine judging?

[robwrx]

What about an Vinmetrica SC-300 demo ?

As part of a testing and adjusting PH and acid in pre ferment must

What about an Vinmetrica SC-300 demo ?

Blending tips and techniques would be one I would like to see.

Also testing and adjusting Ph, acid and sugar pre ferment and possible explanations as to why there were such variations in last years grapes. I've just started to learn about the relationship between PH and SO2 for the safe ageing of wine and want to learn more.

I would also be interested in a port making talk.

Aye, go for the port one !!
I might see if I can get myself organised enough to send the two port samples for then eh ?
