A Newbies First Batch

[Waldo]

My wife's kitchen is my primary work area ( She is so patient, kind and longsuffering with me) I had been storing my wines in her washroom and have now moved the carboys to a corner in the dining room. It gets rather warm in the washroom with the clothes dryer running and I feared it may be getting too warm. Keeping my fingers crossed onmy first efforts.( Blackberry and Peach.) The Blackberries were given to me by a friendand were lovingly smushed, mushed and cussed by me the peach is Vinters ChoiceEdited by: Waldo

Waldo,


Looks like everything is going real good. We all find what ever space we can for our hobby. Being in a small apartment I have wine stuff in every room. The bedroom is the fermentation room, other bedroom is the equipment storage area, dining room is the wine cellar, kitchen is the lab. The living room is the tasting room!!!! What ever it takes!!!

After looking at the pictures I will never again think we need morespace for our wine. I will count my blessings for all the space we have for equipment, aging, working with wines and space for wine racks. I will be nothing but thankful.

I guess my house looks as normal as everybody elses. I can't
figure out why more people don't have bottle trees next to their
kitchen sink.

 

[Waldo]

This is why you see no bottle tree in my work area

 

[PolishWineP]

We have 2 of those and they always want to help!

And I think I would be amiss not to share a photo of my favorite :Kitten" My best friend and wife of 38 years, Kathy who is patiently and lovingly enduring my wine making venture.

 

[rgecaprock]

AVery lovely couple, you are.

Cool pics everyone!

 

[Hi In The Pines]

ok, looks like im in for it. I havent even so much as received my equipment and I dont have room anyhow.Im looking at the pics and noticing that you use every space in the house. But every space in my house has already something in it. OH MAN!!

 

[PolishWineP]

We usually have wine equipment out. Once in a while we have company so we stash it all. Then, after the company is gone, the equipment sneaks back out again! I admit my home doesn't look look like anything from House Beautiful but we sure have fun!

Shhhhhh dont anyone tell my wife but I posted our number of years together after several rackings of my new wine. I have now recalculated and from 1969 to 2005 is only 36 years...All still great though

 

[cbwenger]

waldo, you can go back and edit the message and change it to 36 years... i'll never tell (just send me two bottles of the good stuff and we'll call it even)

 

[rgecaprock]

I'm just really happy for anyone who makes it past the 7 year itch
