<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">This Fall, we made our first batch of Starrfields wine, using cold-hardy Marquette grapes. We were fortunate to learn the basics from <a href="http://vagabondvintner.com/" target="_blank">the Vagabond Vintner</a> Kathy Maiele, based in Wilder, Vermont. She patiently led our little group through the process of picking beautiful Marquette grapes at </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/walpolewinery/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE" style="font-size: 12.8px;" target="_blank">Walpole Mountain View Winery</a><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">. The winery is beautifully situated on a high, open hill with panoramic mountain views. Several carefully-tended acres of grape vines were heavily laden with fruit; each one of us was issued a "grape razor" for cutting the stems, a bucket to sit on, and plastic gloves to avoid "purple hand", then headed for the field.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">About Marquette grapes: Marquette is a cousin of Frontenac, and grandson of Pinot noir. It was developed at the University of Minnesota from a cross of several very hardy and complex varieties with a</span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">French Hybrid cultivar Ravat 262. The grapes have a delicious complexity, and produce a dry, medium-bodied wine.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">We picked grapes until several large crates had been filled, then the owner of the winery collected them with a tractor and forklift. Altogether, the three groups in the class had picked 277 pounds of grapes! The next step was to crush the grapes, and we faced the inevitable choice: stomp or not stomp. Some people did stomp, but We are not stompers, and used plastic bags to squish the grapes into "Must". This went into several special food-grade buckets,which we packed into Kathy's truck. Overnight, she administered the first dose of sulfites, to kill the naturally-occurring yeasts. This sounds like a nasty thing to do, but t</span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">hese yeasts are killed because they would not create a consistent or complete fermentation.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">The next day, we met up at Kathy's house to do a series of tests on the must: things like Brix (sugar) level, pH, and specific gravity. We talked about how the fermentation was going to go, and left with a game plan for next steps:</span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;"> the initial fermentation needs to happen at about 70 degrees, which is about the outside temperature at the time you pick the grapes. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">A couple of weeks later, you press the grapes and do a secondary fermentation at a somewhat cooler temperature, with special added yeast. Because we are beginners and to simplify the process, she had us split our Must into two buckets, each with a different strain of yeast. This way, we are avoiding the secondary fermentation while still adding more complex character to the wine.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Mr. Know Whey did all of these things carefully and correctly for a couple of weeks in his kitchen Wine Lab, keeping meticulous notes, while I was otherwise occupied. He did a great job. Each day he did all of these measurements until the yeasts had consumed all of the sugar, and fermentation was complete!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Our group reconvened at Kathy's after a couple of weeks to press the Must, creating proto-wine. This started out to be an extremely messy process, as there was a tendency for random high-velocity purple squirting from holes in the press. But I devised a plastic bag shroud which controlled it, and we proceeded to press:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">It went back into the buckets, and the homework was to let it settle and then do the first "racking" - siphoning it off into 6-gallon bottles called carboys </span><span style="font-size: xx-small;"><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">(<span style="font-family: inherit;">from the Persian</span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;"> <em>qarāba,</em> meaning great big bottle)</span></span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">, </span><span style="font-size: 12.8px;">avoiding the muck called Lees (a sediment formed from precipitated yeast bodies etc) on the bottom of the bucket. Then we will re-rack it a couple of additional times over the coming months.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">The siphoning went well, but it did leave almost an inch of progressively more opaque and very vividly purple liquid at the bottom of the bucket. I decided that there was a useful layer above the skins etc at the very bottom, and that perhaps it could be filtered back into the wine. However, using four layers of butter cheesecloth and a chinois strainer, it simply clogged the filter and wouldn't flow.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12.8px;">Next best option: cook with it! I poured off about a half gallon total of what seemed usable Lees, and tossed the remaining mud. The Lees was beautiful, intensely fragrant and ready for action.</span><br />

Happy New Year!<br>
We're
having black-eyed peas once again, so I'm reposting for your pleasure.
What I'm doing differently this year is serving seared scallops on a bed
of BEP.<br>
Cheers, Sue!<br>

Here
is a New Vermont twist on the Southern tradition of Black-Eyed Peas on
News Years Day. Just-tender peas are finished as a warm salad with
bacon, onion, maple syrup and piquant spices.</div>

This is an old family recipe from my husband's family: real Southern skillet cornbread dressing. I am reposting this because I recently made my first visit to El Dorado, Arkansas for a family event. I was overwhelmed with the welcome I received, and the warmth and friendliness of these people; I think their character is reflected in this recipe. Cheers, Sue </div>

Here is a Springtime flatbread, featuring the first new peas and fresh herbs
from the garden, an aged Reblochon cheese, and wonderful Vermont ham.
On a crisp, quick sourdough pizza crust, this is a memorable combination

Kugelhopf is definitely on my mind as we enter the holiday season! I'll lead off by publishing this post from last year; and soon I'll post photos of some new Kugelhopf forms I've been collecting. --Sue<br>

This year, try making Kugelhopf, the light brioche cake from Alsace. This yeasted coffeecake makes an excellent holiday present.<br>

Tarte Tatin meets Upside-down cake, for breakfast! Scrumptious individual cinnamon coffee cakes, topped with caramelized apples. Truly, this is one of the best things I have ever baked, and it was Easy.<br>
