Hello my favorite wine people!!! I am back!!! What a horrible winter here!!! On the bright side it's just about time to start my first batch of red from grapes!!!!! Update on my other wine. Well it's crap!!!! It's still kinda bubbly and takes strong as anything!!! I left it alone and it seemed to improve a little but not drinkable. I am going to rack it today or Tom add the meta and top it off with some commercial merlot. And just leave it alone. But I super excited for my first crush!!!!!!!! How's everybody?!?!?!

I've been wondering about that wine!!! Well, it's no surprise that it's not that great.

April is Chilean juice bucket time. You could get a bucket or two and have a leg up on your production.

My book will be here on Friday. I have been reading the online one from more wine website u recommend also. Still very intimidating but I am ready!!!!! And a little crazy so it should work. Lol lol. I am just trying now to prepare and buy wisely. I don't want to start and be short on supplies. So just researching everything I can.

That's a good way to go about it!! What kind of grapes are you going to use and where are you getting them this time of the year---Chile?
