Where to buy Boxed Wine in SF or online?

Bev Mo carries. If you want to check their selection online, search "Bota Box".

Disappointed

Two of us had lunch there today. Very disappointed! Filthy dirty, flies in the air near us, and lousy service. Had to ask twice for glasses for our beer and received two small wine glasses. Had the Corned Beef dish: it was so hot that I had to stop eating it! How this place made Top 100 List is beyond me! I would hate to eat in #101!

Limoncello Advice?

Thanks for the input! I think there is a misunderstanding re Proof and ABV. I remember commercial Limoncello is about 30 %, which is ABV. That translates into 60 Proof.

Are you really making the stuff @ 30 Proof?

Limoncello Advice?

Your calculation is correct. I realized that after my post to you. My friends and I like my stuff so I am sticking with a tried and true recipe. Never used Meyer Lemon as the skins look so thin for my potato peeler that I use to zest. Is the taste that much better? I use 16 normal sized lemons, how many Meyer would you recommend?

Thanks!

Limoncello Advice?

YES! No white stuff. Use a potato peeler with a light touch! Buy a new one before you start.

Do not forget the additional 2C water I mentioned.

Limoncello Advice?

I have been making Limoncello for years using Everclear. The high proof does a better job of flavor extraction, and it is cheaper than 100 Proof Vodka. Do the math! As far as taste goes: experiment with more syrup/water until you like it best. My recipe calls for 16 lemons, 2, 750 ml, of Everclear, 6C sugar in 4C water, add 2C water to reduce proof of the Everclear halfway thru the 80 day total; aging period, and 1 tsp Glycerin to each bottle of finished product.
