My comment:
(a) varietal (n): "a wine bearing the name of the principal grape from which
it is made"  

All definitions are from www.m-w.com.
(b) rack (vt): "to draw off (as wine) from the lees"

lees (n): "the sediment of a liquor (as wine) during fermentation and aging"
(c) Riesling

(d) hoot (n):
"1: a sound of hooting; especially : the cry of an owl
* * *
3: something or someone amusing <the play is a real hoot>"

(e) I have read about making one's own beer, but this is the first time I
read about making one's own wine.
