I have tried this technique in Ukraine, in the Carpathian mountains. A red grape that was growing when I bought the cottage . I found the wine to become sour , and I heard the air reacts with it causing this taste. I have had to crush then quickly put in a air free vat to get anything drinkable

Hey Evo, great video. My Italian grandfather came to the USA about 1910. He worked the coal mines of West Virginia. He would buy new boots every year, use them to stomp grapes then wear them to work. The last thing I did with my father before he died was start a batch of wine. He died a week later. I finished the wine and labeled it in honor of him and shared it with the family. Your video brings back nice memories. Solute’

Evo. God be with you and your family! Thank you for this wine making video. Just fantastic! I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I grew up in Welland Ontario. Our St. Mary's parish was like a little Europe. Neighbors were Italian, Hungarian and Croatian. The smells of everyone's foods whet our appetites when we played in the streets in the 60s. My father was from Croatia. Dad, uncles and grandparents made wine every fall. They got their concord grapes from Vineland just outside of St. Catharines, Ont. They brought their wine press and everything from Europe in 1939 on the boat all taken apart. They made their own sausage as well but when I was young I didn't pay much attention (I should have!), so I am so, so grateful for all your valuable instruction. Bon Appetiti! Love, from Elmwood, Wisconsin.

Ivo, this was a great show! My grandfather, who died before I was born made his own wine. My dad, who used to help him, never continued the tradition. I remember In the sixties there were still plenty of families on our block in the Bronx who would have the discarded, thin wood sided grape crates, out in front of their houses for garbage pick up every fall. That, and the empty crates of tomatoes at the end of summer used for making canned homemade tomato sauce.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Great memories!!👍👍

@@CookingwiththeCoias Indeed I too, must commend you Ivo, as this is the best video I have seen on KZbin for making wine at home. Many thanks for you taking the time to go into great detail in this video .truly well done! In closing, I have a few questions regarding cleaning the wine press. My dad's old wine press very similar to the one you have (just one notch smaller in size) .. Has been stored in the garage for the last many years. It kind of needs a major cleaning etc ...looks dusty etc and needs a cleaning overhaul. (Note - All parts working & functioning etc) So that is precisely my question...in your opinion Ivo, 1) From a cleanliness perspective, how does one know if it is still good to use again? - how to best clean the wood parts? - and if some areas on the cast iron show slight surface rust, is there a remedy for that? Or is that a deal breaker? Any tips on cleaning/ restoring the wine press ? 2) Also, for regular yearly cleaning after making wine, if you are aware of a good video link that shows how you clean your wine press ..that would help lots. Thank you so much for all your videos !!!

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

@@SS-pi2yi use a brush with some soapy water to scrub your wine press, those hose it down thoroughly - you can also sterilize with a weak metabisulphite solution and it will be good to go - same process for cleaning when You're done. As for the rust, wash/scrub away all the rust, then treat that area using food grade grease...put the grease on with a light coat then wipe off - the remaining residual will protect 👍👍

I enjoyed that! I’m big into winemaking too! I often use FX10 yeast. I have made all those same varieties from California, I made all California grapes for many years but then I decided to try whites from Niagara. I was shocked at how much nicer the Ontario whites were! I made them for a few years and then one year the farmer I got my whites from said I grow good reds too you know. So the next year I tried some Ontario red and was very pleased! Now I make all Ontario wine! It feels good to use the grapes that grow right here! I buy my grapes from Watson’s grape farm, they are online. The reds are Gamay , Syrah, petit Verdot, Merlot and Cab Sauv. The whites are Vidal, Riesling, Gewürztraminer, Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio!

Agreed I watched an old Italian make it. He sd I don't know if it's the correct way or not but this is the way I was taught. He only removed very large stems. He sd the part of stem where the grape is attached holds the tannins. He used no yeast or additives. His sugar was at 24 so he also didn't add sugar. The stems were finally removed at the pressing step. Which he did multiple times in barrel with same batch. And only one type of grapes.

Great video this is exactly how I was taught by my Barese father in law. We also never add sulfites due to the fact that the grapes are mildly sprayed with sulfites on the vine. We also made it without yeast and with the yeast. My preference is with yeast.

Really enjoyed this thorough step-by-step. Thoroughly enjoyed it, fantastic! Cheers!!

Thanks so much for such an informative video on winemaking. I made wine using grapes planted by Italian immigrants in Cyrenaica and was meticulous about two things: destemming and cleanliness. My memory is now rusty (hence watching your video, as I want to get back into wine making), and was relieved to see that I was on the right track. Your method of instruction is excellent. Your pacing is steady and interesting, never a wasted word and an hour flew by. I really appreciate your taking the time to make this. Best wishes.

I have a friend from Moldova who makes his own wine without any additives-amazing! You can drink as much as you want and feel great afterward. He also uses California grapes.

What a fantastic video. There’s none other like it. The passion is beaming off of you. I will be trying this from September and will be using this video to help me along the way! I’ll send you a bottle, many thanks!

So happy to hear you enjoyed this wine making episode and thank you for such great feedback - September will be an exciting month 👍👍🍷🍷

What a great video - The process looks like so much fun!!! It must be so rewarding to crack open a bottle of your own homemade wine. You're a great teacher. Thanks for the videos!!!

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Very happy to hear you enjoyed this video and yes, it is very rewarding 😊 In fact, yesterday, I cracked open a bottle I've been aging since the year 2000, and much to my surprise, it did not turn and in fact, was very good!! Always a risk to age wine this long and I was fortunate that this one was a success 😊😊

[@paulsaltarelli9012]

Ivo, You’ve done an amazing job in detailing every aspect of making homemade Vino! In fact, you’ve given me the confidence to start making wine again and brought back the fun memories of making wine with my dad as a kid.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

That's outstanding!! SO glad you enjoyed this video and that you are going to continue your fathers family tradition :) :) :)

[@llabicab]

Great video! Reminds me of when I used to make wine with my dad. He also always made his wine with zero additives and you're right, no one ever got headaches from his wine. He passed away last month at the nice age of 96, but almost to the last year he was drinking at least a bottle of his wine every day, which I'm sure added to his longevity.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Sorry for your loss and my condolences, although it sounds like he had a nice life and making it to 94 is great! So glad this episode brought back some memories for you 👍👍🍷🍷

[@billyharris1560]

So glad to hear you enjoyed this wine making episode and thanks for your kind feedback 👍👍🍷🍷

[@andrewmazunda3846]

You are the best teacher. I can't wait to experiment and come up with a vine yard in Africa. And use this video as a guide into home made wine production 😊

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

That's outstanding!! Plenty of fantastic grapes in Africa - best of luck to you and much success 👍🍇🍷

[@andrewlaidlaw8925]

Easily the best “How To” video I’ve seen. Love that you’re from GTA making things relatable for another guy from Ontario. Just planted a few vines in my backyard. Now curious to see how much yield I get in a few years. Thanks Again!

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

So glad you enjoyed this wine making episode 👍 thanks for the great feedback and good luck with your grapes 🍇🍇 🍷🍷

[@robertmclaren7002]

This video was a wonderful way to remember my dad and my earliest memories of watching him grow grapes and then make them into wine. Your very simple explanations triggered so many things that I remember but never quite understood when I was a kid. Thank you so much. It also got me to consider making wine myself but I'm not sure that I could drink the kind of volumes I would have to make!

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Very happy to hear this and so glad this wine making episode brought back some good memories for you 👍👍👍

[@Peeps-gx7mg]

Excellent video - I watched the whole thing. We just bought a house in France with a garden full of grapevines, so this video will come in handy for me when I come to harvest them next year 👍🏻

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

So glad you enjoyed this wine making episode and it's great to hear from you in France. There are plenty of amazing grapes in France and you are very fortunate to have some right on your own property 👍👍🍇🍷

[@frankjamesbrown6766]

Fantastic...this is the best 'how to' class ever
