Cream of Tartar

[Guest guest]

We had a healthy debate a while back about cream of

tartar, and I thought I would add some info to the

confusion. My husband and I recently went on a little

vacation to Hermann, Missouri, this little German wine

hub of Missouri. Their wine is awesome, but back to

the point, we toured Stone Hill Winery. The guide was

telling us that tartar settles to the bottom of the

wine vats. It is a by-product of the yeast that they

use to make their wine. She said that they sell their

tartar to spice companies, and then they make cream of

tartar from it. So not only is cream of tartar a

yeast product, but it also may be unsuitable for those

with grape, yeast, and/or alcohol allergies, like our

son.
