No PM for me.
Excited about the new bottling though.

On the subject of wine dinners:
It's not enough that you had to create this thread to develop interest in the wine, and then send out your email newsletter with an offer to buy it at a discount, you also had to throw in the little flyer about a dinner on February 12th in Wooster, OH, a mere 4-hour drive from Buffalo. Now how am I going to get a better chance to renew acquaintances and thank you in person, meet Jana, enjoy what looks like a terrific dinner at a very reasonable price together with wines that I already know are terrific, having tasted all of them previously? See you in 3 weeks.
ScottHarveyWines wrote:We got the new 2007 bottled on the 20th. I'm already in Wilmington NC doing a winemaker dinner tonight. The Thursday bottling was a hectic day starting at 4:30 AM and ending at about 10 PM. We produced 72 @ 3 liter bottles, 48 cases of 6/1.5L magnums and the rest being 1,723 cases 12/750ml. I am real happy with the wine. But it is not fair to have me labrat the wine. A wine maker will always tell you the last wine thay made is the best. Rather than me labrat it, I have contacted three of you who participated on the blog to do the labrating. You will be getting a private message from me asking if you want to labrat the wine and where to send it. All of you, your participation really helped in making the wine really turn out great.
Thanks so much,
That is a wonderful approach. Great way to thank those that posted, and to get even more feedback next time.
Any update on being able to ship to CT?

There are a couple. And trust goes both ways, so I think I would be safe.
Jana mentioned looking into CT license. But assuming we are too small for the fee, I will be in touch.

As you well know, you are pre-approved, so all you'd need to do is let me know it's coming.

He can also always ship to me too. After all, I still got resting in my wine fridge the last Scott Harvey Amador Sampler order from April which mother shipped to me that I will be delivering when we have the CT Clambake.
Thanks. I knew that. And we already have stong interest in making a connection. I will let you know. I may be able to ship to my daughter, but that would require a larger order to cover her as well.

Sadly, it isn't me. Im still in to buy a case.. shucks!
Ok Scott, since I didn't get the rattage I went ahead and just bought a case You are always welcome to slip and extra one in there if you like! It doesn't take long for it to get to WA thank goodness ! I sure don't mind! Or you could throw in a signed Magnum , but I'm not picky! Can't wait to taste it! BTW, I had sent a request for labels as well so to save you on some shipping, you are welcome to pop them in the box with the case. Keri-Lyn
ScottHarveyWines wrote:I'm back, been going crazy putting this blend together and getting everything scheduled for bottling. After reading all your great input, we are definitely going with the dryer style. I opened up both a bottle of the 2004 and 2006 while making the blend. The 2006 is too sweet while the 2004 tested at 1.2% residual sugar. The new 2007 Blend ended up balancing best at .8% residual sugar.
Blend notes on all three blends are:
76% Zinfandel, 24% Barbera
In 4,941 gallons I added 74 gallons of Zinfandel concentrate to bring the wine up to .8% Residual Sugar. Recent test show 1.2% RS. Our method of testing is not as accurate as a comercial lab. None of the port wine (Forte) was used to sweeten the 2004.
76% Zinfandel, 21% Syrah & 3% port(Forte)
The Forte added was 118 gallons in addition to 146 gallons of Zinfandel concentrate which brought this wine up to just over 2% RS.
New 2007 InZinerator
67% Zinfandel, 26% Syrah, 7% Forte.
The Forte is at about 9% residual sugar while concentrate is at 68% RS. There is no concentrate in the 2007. The only wine used to bring the wine to .8% RS is the Forte. This wine balances to taste just a little dryer than the 2004. Total blend is 4,400 gallons and we will be bottling it on Wednesday the 20th of January.
For those of you who like the sweeter style another blend is also being bottled called One Last Kiss. It used the same blending wines as the InZinerator but as 50% Zinfandel, 38% Syrah and 12% Forte. It is closer to 2% RS. No concentrate was used in this blend either.
We went with two front labels alternating, so there will be 6 bottles of each in every case. One is the same as the Hero on the Mountain that was used on the 2004 vintage and the other is the new Z label.
Hey Scott. For my two cents, let me just say that the big selling point for the 04, to me, was the Barbera in the blend. I love this grape varietal, and it has been very hard for me to find at retail. At any rate, I loved the 04 InZin.
The 06 was good, to me, for what it was, but was a bit sweet for my palate. I am looking forward to the 07, but hope you can do some more blending with Barbera in the future.
I also bought 2 three-packs that were offered about a year ago with the Barbera in it. It was, of course, fantastic. In general, I would love to see talented winemakers like yourself do more with this exciting grape.
The three Labrat wines shipped out yesterday.
Excited to see how they do.

I can't wait to see how I do either.
PS. Cesare/kttest, I haven't really thought about what the end of my week/weekend is going to be like, but if you maybe wanted to try to get together for dinner to share in the labrattery let me know.
oppsie has agreed to join me in the rattery. We will be popping the bottle this weekend - either Friday or Saturday, haven't decided yet. Going to have it with some yummy crock pot ribs and corn bread. zoomba may be joining, haven't heard back from him yet though.
ddeuddeg wrote:I'm surprised no one beat me to this. I got the email an hour ago. The '07 InZINerator is being offered at 20% off (25% off for club members) until January 31st. Codeword: inzin
Thanks for the information. I just found this thread and picked up a case for $16.90 a bottle shipped with that code. Couldn't wait for the rats; the offer might have expired.
tiger7610 wrote:Can this offer be combined with a free shipping for woot members who purchased the last inzin? I think thats what the sheet said. Correct me if I'm wrong of course.
The offer from July had a code that expired end of August.
I haven't posted really, but have lurked for quite awhile. Anyway, I PM'd Scott for the free labels. So, what do I get? He sends me the labels and 4 autographed posters of the labels. Who does this sort of thing? Thank you Scott. I am now a lifetime customer every time I can afford it.

Yeah, I already knew he was sending two bottles. Mine arrive on Monday. And since next week is going to be like my craziest work week of the year, I won't be able to touch them until the weekend.
With any luck Cesare/kttest and/or a few others will be free for me to head that way with the bottles to share in the joy.
Either of you could share the wealth. Just get in the car and drive to So Cal. I have a couch.

Well, that doesn't seem fair. You have the wine so you should definitely dri... oh, right. You have the wine.
ok. So. This is my very brief summation of the evening with a full report to follow tomorrow when I'm not ready to just pass out.
There were 5 of us. We all enjoyed it quite a bit, but decided it DEFINITELY needs more bottle time and time to just chill out before drinking.
Straight out of the bottle was like smelling the oak barrels (which is a lovely scent, mind you, just not what you really want in a wine), and the Forte really came through on the palate with raisins and prunes. A little bit of time helped temper it and eventually chocolate came out. But really, we tried a number of methods to force this thing to open up and it just wasn't having any of it. Vinturi alone was not enough. Decant for a bit then through the Vinturi was best but still not quite there.
This is a BABY people. Lay it down for a year at least before opening it, or else give it A LOT of time to open up before having it. It's good now, yes, but it has so much potential that having it now is just a sin.
My regret of the evening: Not leaving any to sit in the bottle overnight to try tomorrow.
Why yes, we went through both bottles of it. Completely. AFTER having almost a full bottle of Knapp Curiosity (since I had to cook with it, we figured we might as well drink it).
We followed up with a Crown Bench Estates Vidal Icewine that was CLEARLY past it's time. So we made up for it with a Kent Rasmussen Esoterica Sousao. And then a 2003 Penfolds Bin 28. Because we're crazy like that.
Dinner was Crock Pot Ribs, Confetti Risotto, and Green Beans Provencale with spicy corn muffins, and eclairs for dessert. The risotto was the best pairing with the InZIN.
Another excellent wine by Mr. Harvey. I'm excited to see what this one does over time.

Working on it. Pictures have been uploaded to Facebook and Picasa, working on getting the recipes together. Soon. Promise.
Ok. Pictures and recipes, click for larger:
The Wine:
The other bottle has one of the previous labels, but smaller. I liked the Z better.
Crock Pot Ribs:
(original recipe courtesy of Cooks.com - slightly altered)
1 c. finely chopped onion
3/4 c. lemon juice
3/4 c. chopped celery
1 tbsp. butter
3 tbsp. sugar
3 tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 c. wine vinegar
32 oz. bottle ketchup
1 tbsp. prepared mustard
Salt and pepper
3 - 5 lb. beef or pork Texas style ribs
In skillet, saute onion, celery and black pepper in butter. Add to crock pot with remaining ingredients (except ribs) and combine thoroughly. Add the ribs. Cover and cook on high setting 3 - 4 hours. Finish off with a sear on the grill.
Confetti Risotto:
(recipe courtesy of Cooking Club of America)
5 c water
1 large carrot, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 each baby red and orange bell peppers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium yellow squash, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup shelled peas
1/2 cup white wine
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1/8 tsp salt
2 Tbsp butter
1 small onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
1/2 cup (2oz) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Bring water to a boil in medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add carrot; cook 5 minutes. Add bell pepper, squash, and peas; cook an additional 5 minutes. Drain veggies, reserving water. Set aside veggies, return water to saucepan. Add wine, soy sauce, and salt. Reduce het to low; cover and keep wine mixture simmering while making risotto.
Melt butter in large heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add onion; cook 4-5 minutes or until tender. Stir in rice; cook 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; add 1 cup wine mixture. Cook until liquid is absorbed, stirring often. Continue to add wine mixture 1 cup at a time, cooking and stirring often until rice is just slightly resistant to the bite and creamy, about 30 minutes. Stir in reserved vegetables and cheese.
Green Beans Provencale:
(recipe courtesy of Cooking Club of America)
2lb green beans, trimmed
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 each baby red and yellow bell peppers, cut into strips
1 1/2 tsp herbes de Provence
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup pine or soy nuts, toasted
Bring 2 quarts water to a boil in large pot over high heat. Add beans; return to a boil. Cook beans until crisp-tender, about 10 minutes. Drain; run under cold water to stop cooking. (Beans may be cooked ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
Heat oil in large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Add bell pepper; saute 1 to 2 minutes. Add beans; cook 5 minutes or until heated, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle with herbes de Provence and salt; stir to coat. Serve topped with nuts.
Spicy corn muffins:
(recipe courtesy of Ezra Pound Cake)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal, preferably stone-ground
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon chili powder, or more to taste
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup buttermilk
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1 large egg yolk
1/4 cup corn kernels (add up to 3 tablespoons more if you'd like)–fresh, frozen or canned (in which case they should be drained and patted dry)
1 small jalapeño pepper, seeded, deveined and finely diced
1/4 red bell pepper, seeded, deveined and finely diced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro
Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter or spray the 12 molds in a regular-size muffin or fit the molds with paper muffin cups. Alternatively, use a silicone muffin pan, which needs neither greasing nor paper cups. Place the muffin pan on a baking sheet.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, sugar, baking powder, chili powder, salt, baking soda and black pepper. In a large glass measuring cup or another bowl, whisk the buttermilk, melted butter and egg yolk together until well blended. Pour the liquid ingredients over the dry ingredients and, with the whisk or a rubber spatula, gently but quickly stir to blend. Don't worry about being thorough–the batter will be lumpy, and that's just way it should be. Stir in the corn kernels, jalapeno, red pepper and cilantro. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
Bake for about 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a thin knife inserted into the center of the muffins comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack and cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing each muffin from its mold.

It all looks lovely. Sorry we couldn't make it.
I noticed a couple of those recipes were from the Cooking Club of America. I just got an offer from them the other day. It looks pretty interesting, and I've been trying to decide whether it's worth it. If it's one of those things where you have to remember to say no to stuff you don't want/need, I'm lousy at that. Thoughts?
In any event, we'll be trying the green bean recipe soon. Looks yummy. And we're looking for ways to use the pine nuts I just spent a fortune on.

I signed up for CCA way back in high school and did the lifetime membership thing. Got an excellent stainless steel cookware set out of it and got myself suckered into buying TONS of cookbooks - you do have to remember to tell them to stop with the books. But it's been worth it to me. I still use those pots. I still get the magazines and wander through the recipes, but I'm not real active otherwise. They do offer classes from time to time if one is in your area - they're in Detroit fairly regularly. It's really what you make it - you can be super active or just enjoy the magazines.
I just ordered three bottles, and the discount code is still working. But probably not for much longer.
Cheron, are there any restaurants in Greektown that you could recommend?

My story...after teaching upper grades for thirty years, without any notice-one afternoon in October, I was told I had three days before I would have a roomful of kinders to fill the need of over-crowding. While I will not admit to the administrator I am loving it, it is evident to my colleagues I am going to have fun teaching in any grade because I love teaching. I've been very fortunate to be with a kindergarten team with as much experience as I had in upper grades and they share everything. Any time I can share with them a new idea I have gleaned from Pinterest or blogs, I feel like I am giving back to them for all they have done to make this an easier transition for me. We're beginning our arctic adventures next week, too. My snow mountain slopes bulletin is up and waiting for cuteness to appear! My toes would be tingling with excitement if my kinder-bears could be sharing these polar pals. Betsy in Orlando firstname.lastname@example.com Thanks for offering this unit.ReplyDelete

An in-depth case study of the use of DxOMark dataTuesday June 09 2009 Sensor Insight
The Nikon D5000 sensor obtains exceptional results for low ISO settings and outperforms the Canon EOS 500D sensor in dynamic range and color depth. When ISO increases, however, the differences become smaller, but the Nikon D5000 still maintains a slight advantage.
This said, the Canon EOS 500D sensor is nevertheless an exceptional sensor with a very small pixel pitch and very low RAW noise. Two main weaknesses explain the difference between its score and that of the Nikon:
- The slightly higher readout noise, visible for low ISO settings
- The larger overlap of color responses
We should keep in mind, too, that the sensor launched by Canon presents more technical challenges than a classic 5.5µm pixel pitch sensor, and in principle should provide slightly higher resolution. Of course, this DxOMark review evaluates only RAW sensor performance and should be considered only in tandem with other more global reviews when choosing a digital camera. While DxOMark does take resolution into account for normalization, users should be aware about the minimum resolution they need before comparing any camera.
Disclaimer: This DxOMark article evaluates only the selected camera's RAW sensor performance metrics (i.e., Color Depth, Dynamic Range, and Low-Light ISO), and should not be construed as a review of the camera's overall performance, as it does not address such other important criteria as image signal processing, mechanical robustness, ease of use, flexibility, optics, value for money, etc. While RAW sensor performance is critically important, it is not the only factor that should be taken into consideration when choosing a digital camera.

To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
With 15 MPix on a 14.0 mm x 18.7 mm sensor in an $800 bridge camera intended for the general public, the appearance of the Canon PowerShot G1X was one of the big events at CES 2012.
Nikon and Canon launched their new top-of-the-line cameras for news and sports photography at the end of 2009. The Nikon D3s replaced the NikonD3, and the Canon EOS 1D Mark IV replaces the Canon EOS 1D Mark III.

|Grenade Discovered at LAS
- An inert grenade was discovered in a carry-on bag at Las Vegas (LAS).
- A 3¼-inch knife was detected concealed inside a comb in the carry-on bag at Charleston (CHS).
- A sword cane with a 15" blade was discovered at Houston (IAH).
What Not to Say at an Airport – Statements like these not only delay the people who said them but can also inconvenience many other passengers if the checkpoint or terminal has to be evacuated:
- A Newark (EWR) passenger stated "I have a bomb in my bag" to one of our officers. She then went on to explain that she was just joking.
Firearms Discovered This Week
Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it's great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the throughput is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. The passenger can face a penalty as high as $7,500.00. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions, that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items.

Supporters line up to push Brookfield beekeeping
A swarm of beekeeping supporters brought buzz to last week's Brookfield common council meeting.
Last month, alderman Bob Reddin passed along an inquiry from a constituent regarding residents installing and maintaining honey bees on their property.
Residents from Brookfield and other nearby communities lined up during a Tuesday, July 19, public comment portion in order to voice their support.
"We're not asking the city of Brookfield to allow hundreds of hives or commercial honey production on residential property," resident Scott Offord said. "Beekeeping is important to a lot of people. It will not cause problems for the city of Brookfield. Beekepers are responsible citizens who care for nature and all it offers."
Offord told aldermen that beekeeping already exists in the city, whether it is technically allowed or not.» Read Full Article

Brookfield Bulldogs, Pewaukee Muskies to continue game at later date
Jason Booth was faced with a tough decision.
On one hand, the Brookfield Bulldogs' skipper could have accepted a crucial win for his team. But to the veteran manager, that wouldn't have been the right way to end a well-played game between two Land O'Lakes rivals on July 23.
Lighting and rain suspended play between Brookfield and the Pewaukee Muskies, with the Bulldogs hitting in the bottom of the seventh with the score tied 1-1. The Muskies had just tied the game with a run in the top of the seventh. Per league rules, the game would have reverted back to the last completed inning and gone final.
That would have meant a 1-0 win for the Bulldogs. Instead, Booth agreed to pick the game up where it left off at a date to be determined.
"It was absolutely a tough call," Booth said. "The grand championship over the last five years have been decided between these two teams. It was a heck of a tough call, but I think it was the right and honest thing to do. We'll settle it like men on the field, and the better team will win."» Read Full Article
Brookfield Blue Sox pick up key win over West Bend
With five games left in the season, the Brookfield Blue Sox are right in the Land O'Lakes playoff mix.
The Blue Sox moved into a tie for the third and final playoff spot from the Suburban Division with a 8-3 victory over the West Bend Lithia on July 23 at Carl M. Kuss Field.
West Bend jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning off Ben Versnik, but the Blue Sox scored six in the top of the second and didn't look back. Brookfield added runs in the seventh and ninth to cruise to a comfortable win over the last-place Lithia.
Making his second start of the season, Versnik struck out 10 and allowed just one earned run on two hits over six innings. The right-hander has allowed just one run over 18 innings (0.50 ERA) this season. Kyle Stewart struck out eight over the final three innings.
Johnny Arnold went 2-for-4 with a walk, and Tim Kahle was 2-for-4 with two runs scored and a stolen base. Will Johnson drove in three runs, while Pat Tobiasz and Zach Loss each had two RBIs.» Read Full Article

Wisconsin Athletic Club nearing town of Brookfield opening
A former student at the University of Phoenix or a movie-lover from years past might not even recognize the building at 20075 Watertower Blvd.
The structure, which has housed a movie theater, a community college and an office building, is in the process of an extreme makeover as the Wisconsin Athletic Club prepares its newest location.
Last fall, the WAC announced plans to move its current Waukesha club, 1530 E. Moreland Blvd., to the town of Brookfield after seaching locations for more than five years.
At that time, officials were uncertain on a timeline for the club and what amenities it would include. Details have become more clear on both subjects in recent months.

It wasn't an ideal first-round matchup for the fifth seeded Hamilton baseball team. Brookfield Central, the 12th seed in its bracket, finished the season 7-24, but had won three of its final four regular-season contests. Even with Central's ace Justin Stollberg on the mound, a July 12 regional semifinal went Hamilton's way, 8-2, after a strong hitting performance from the Chargers.
Hamilton's top of the lineup got on Central in the bottom of the first with three consecutive hits by Sam Herriges, Drake Schreihart and Carson Youngquist. Youngquist's single past first base scored Herriges, and two batters later, Ty Botsford drove in Schreihart for a 2-0 lead.
Central scored two runs in the top of the second, with one run coming off Dillon Sehmer's single over the Hamilton second baseman's head to score John Schneider.
Youngquist said the Chargers weren't frustrated after Central tied the game at 2.
"Unearned runs have been the story of our season," Youngquist said. "But we've been so used to being tied or down, we've come back from everything before. I think those hits we had early on in the next inning really helped us out a lot. Then we went up ... and carried it from there."» Read Full Article

Here is some information on frequently asked liquid, aerosol and gel items:
- Suntan & Sun Block Lotion: Lotions fall under the 3-1-1 procedures that I mentioned above. So do the aerosol spray lotions. Sunblock sticks do not fall under this rule.
- Makeup: Any liquid makeup cosmetics such as eyeliner, nail polish, liquid foundation, etc. should be placed in the baggie. That goes for perfume as well. Powder makeup is fine.
- Beverages: Wine, liquor, beer, and all of your other favorite beverages are permitted in your checked baggage. You can also bring beverages packaged in 3.4 oz or less bottles in your carry-on bags in the 3-1-1 baggie.

Arsenal Ladies take on INAC Kobe in the first match of their Japan Tour on Wednesday and they've been keeping busy in the days leading up to that charity fixture against the domestic champions.
In our latest picture special you can see the Ladies squad in Kyoto visiting the Arashiyama area before returning to Tokyo to attend a concert by Mihoko Ishida.
Mihoko was once an Arsenal Ladies player but now she is back in Japan enjoying a successful singing career with hit records such as Ichibanboshi and One for All.
