Hello from western NY

[Steve_G]

Hi all. My name is Steve and I'm from Jamestown, NY. I have been making wine for 3 years now (all country wines) and have just started my first batch of grape (wild). I'm eager to learn everything I possibly can, so thanks ahead of time for your input

Welcome Steve, you're not too far from me. I enjoy eating up at Lakewood Rod and Gun club near you on Lake Chautauqua.

Welcome to the forum Steve!

Looks like you're not to far from the Finger Lakes region. Is there much grape growing going on in your area of NY?

thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Believe it or not Runningwolf, I live about 2 miles from the Lakewood Rod and Gun and have never eaten there... Don't get out much. What can I say?

bkisel... There is a lot of vineyards in the northern part of the county, all along the Lake Erie shore line. Mostly concord and Niagara. I'm not too keen on the Labrusca varieties.
