Cellar Dwellers - Home Winemaking

Good information for a beginning wine maker without being too dry. They do have a tendency to go on a tangent of a tangent which can be frustrating if you were interested in the subject before the tangent. Other than that go humorous content. Would like to see them come back.

Contains a lot of good information on home winemaking. Humorous, but with a tendency to go off on long, sophomoric tangents (yes, we get it, you're drinking wine)...a common problem with amateur podcasts.

There are not enough good podcasts on home winemaking, but i’m very glad for this one. These guys are funny and are not snobs at all. I enjoy listening to them talk everyday and when I’ve listened to all the episodes, I will miss them. Maybe they will start up the podcast again? Thanks guys!

Awesome show, i am 16 and can't wait till i am 18 so i can drink, i hope to be a winemaker when i am older and take a vinticulture course

We actually grow grapes and spend a lot of time driving back and forth. These podcasts make the time fly by, they have interesting "off the cuff" content, as well as pertinent, intelligent discussion of the topic (if they have time to get to the topic), but very witty discussion of all things wine -- and sometimes, some history and idioms thrown in. What's an idiom? Listen and find out. I would vote these people the two people with whom I would most like to sit down with a bottle of wine. Y... more

These guys are both informative and hilarious! There is absolutely nothing not to like!!!

I have learned quite a bit from listening and have referenced the podcasts when I needed a little assistance with my own wine.

Thanks for coming back, it's been too long....

What a great show. I listened to every single episode. Have a glass of wine in hand when listening. Better yet, down one or two first. The entertainment will be even better. You will have fun and learn lots of information on making wine and screwing around. Warning, after listening you may feel the need to start making your own wine.

These two are very enjoyable to listen to, and the content is very good as well.

seriously this is a fantastic podcast (even with the tangents that sometimes run amuck :-)!). I am not quite through all of them, but I am now milking it because I know the day will soon come when their aren't anymore! I know TOG has moved but come on, this is a podcast, is it necessary to be in the same site!?! Besides, I'd love to hear if he has had any winemaking adventures here in AZ - I'd love to know if wine making is really feasible here in the valley of the sun!

While Dave and the passionate one oftentimes serendipitously skim skid and tousle through their show and I have yet to drink to help them sound better, I am thoroughly enjoying the ride. I have become an avid listener when I am driving in my car many mornings to work to start my day. I recently took them to Hawaii with me and listened almost the entire way (from Phila!) on my iPod. I have yet to catch a live show, but hope to join one at least one time. I am currently reviewing the episodes ... more

For the last few years, I have been watching a friend make lots of wine. I have helped onload and crush the grapes (no destemming with this group), kill the alien yeast, add yeast, press the must, pour the juice into the carboys, plug the bung hole with the bung plug and air lock, and tote the carboys down to the basement. Envious of his large collection of wine, I have decided it is time for me to try. However being the scaredy cat that I am, I am going to start with juice. I have bought m... more

Dave and Tog (The other guy), two award winning home wine makers, hosts this lighthearted podcast offering excellent home wine making advice. All the while discovering the origin of idioms, trying to perfect the art of show sign-on and intro music, and tenaciously forging ahead grasping at that seemingly unreachable goal... the original subject matter of the show. They teach you facts, as well as impart tribal knowledge that only comes with experience. I recommend this podcast to anyone who h... more

This show has taught me so much information about every aspect of wine making that when my vines finish maturing and start producing grapes, I'll be able to make some great wine.

You guys are great---- keep it up. Thought I'd leave some positive comments for you here at i-tunes. Keep crushing, keep pressing, keep bottling and keep drinking.... isn't that the home wine makers motto? For anyone out there wondering if they should listen and subscribe to this podcast... do it! It is 100% fun and informative. From the virtual wine tasting to step-by-step tips; from quirky idioms to breaking wine news....this show has it all. Kudos to The Numbers Guy and TOG... you've earned... more

TOG and Dave think they're the Click and Clack of winemaking, THEY"RE NOT. There is very little winemaking discussed. They put down people that make wine from kits, even though MANY wines made from kits beat their wines (especially their beloved Zinfandel) in the the 2007 Wine Maker Magazine Internation Wine Competition. If you're looking for good solid winemaking information I'd suggest you look else where.
