steinrokkan posted:"We have so much poo poo, just endless piles of it! this means we are really good at making the best poo poo" - yet another proof the American mindset makes making good cheese impossible. The best beer and cheese and wine are coming from the US right now. And more cheaply and accessible than from Europe. Hell beer and wine alone, WI by itself has got the whole of the continent beat.

Weka posted:I would have thought Wisconsin was on the cold side for wine production. Ehh meant cheese. There is a reason that WI has the best cheese too, CA and NY. The basing point for milk prices is Eau Claire. The further one is from Eau Claire the more ones milk sells for by law. CA and NY have never let this be changed and it would take a law to change. So milk is cheaper to buy in WI but the farmers can’t make as much money as farmers in CA and NY selling it. Hence the cheese value add.

Silly American fact: I heard on QI that all 50 US states have at least one winery. Even Alaska. (I guess they grow the grapes in some kind of artifically heated greenhouse or something.) And all this "my cheese is better than your cheese" talk is bullshit. Coz sure, America's cheese making regions may make some very world class cheese, and many varieties of such. This is not the issue. The issue is that for great swathes of the American population the word "cheese" means orange squares wrapped in plastic. The euro posturing is sad and pathetic at t his point. I mean even Australia makes good cheese. We even have the class to name a brand of cheese after an olde-timey racial slur.  Can Europe or America say that?

You can probably grow grapes outside in Alaska for bit of the year I imagine, especially cold hardy ones. Alaska can actually get quite warm and humid in the summer for being so far north.

The entire peninsula part of Wisconsin is covered in cherry trees. We make a poo poo load of cherry wines. Grapes to a lesser extent but they are grown. Typically 'ice wine' is produced.

wesleywillis posted:Don't know about Europe, but America can definitely say its still got some racially themed product names. Gone now, because of Millennials   Lots of wines are produced from fruit other than grapes. You never hear about them because they don't fall into the same categories as grape wines. Like a dog breed that isn't in the agreed upon list for show quality.

Your can make wine from almost anything. Plum is nice, so are most berries. If you start getting esoteric (clearing out my grandad's house, my dad found bottles of parsnip and courgette wine labeled as bottled in the 80s) it becomes much more... "complex" in the flavour.

dandelion is popular as well, and something I've always wanted to try, given that I have god knows enough dandelions on my acreage if I don't treat it, but, as the owner of two dogs, and host to flocks of turkeys and roaming deer, just aren't, uh, brave enough to give it a go.
