The next three pictures are of us making vin de noix. This is the first time we have tried it but we had so many nuts this year as a result of the Callister's generosity it seemed like a shame not to try.
By the way that is the wine that I racked to secondary back in March.
We made a carboy and a large container of nocino on Friday after work. We ran out of containers and had to go get more bottles at Ikea at the Mall of America Saterday afternoon. I won't do that again.
Below you can see the difference between the batch we made on Friday and the one we made this afternoon. You can see how quickly it darkens.
And here is the final picture of all the batches we got started this weekend.
I think people may get some nocino for christmas this year.

Excellent post and pictures! I'm getting less intimidated all the time, and may just have to try and make me a batch of this yummy stuff. Thanks for breaking it down. Hope to see you soon.

hey rick! it's been too long. hey, do you have a good nocino recipe to share? (i can't find one here, though i know it must be...) is it too late to try making it for the holidays? thanks for your help.
Hey Lee, Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. I am still refining my recipe but promise to publish it once I am completely satisfied with the results. Yes it is much too late to start for this year. We are however planning on seeing you at the SGT event on 12/10 and are planning to bring you a small bottle so you can see if it is worth the effort next year.
