Did you miss making wine last fall from grapes or juice? Fall is such a busy time with school, sports, preparing for holidays etc. Now that winter has struck and many of us our waiting for snow to melt, it may be the perfect time to think about making wine at a winery this spring.

In South America, harvesting is done in the spring and Tin Lizzie Wineworks in Maryland has access to red grapes and white grape juice from this 2010 South American harvest. Grapes will be available from Chile and Argentina. White grape juice will be from Argentina.

Red grapes available will be Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenere, Malbec, Merlot, Sangiovese, Syrah and Tempranilla. White grape juice available will be Chardonnay, Muscat, Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc.

At Tin Lizzie Wineworks, those participating in making a barrel of wine can choose between a ¼ barrel, ½ barrel and whole barrel. Winemaking is expected to begin in April and May.

Tin Lizzie Wineworks is located in Clarksville, Maryland. To learn more about winemaking visit the winemaking blog by Wine Trail Traveler. To contact Tin Lizzie Wineworks about spring winemaking, visit their website.
