hello

[jerry]

hi everybody i'm Jerry. I've been making wine a few years, but far from an expert. I'll be asking a lot of questions and will appreciate the help.

Welcome jerry, hope you stay awhile. Where here to answer all your questions. So what wines have you made so far?

Edited by: wade

 

[jerry]

Lambrusco, strawberry, blueberry Barbera, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauv, pinot noir, peach & pumpkin. Most came out pretty good, but I want to keep improving.

Hi Jerry. We all want to continually improve our wines. Folks here like to share and we all learn from each other. How did the pumpkin wine turn out? Did you just make it a plain pumpkin or did you "spice" it up a bit?

Welcome Jerry, some here have been making wines for years, Myself, 3 years and always learning........ Don't think any of us will ever be experts.

Looks like a great start you have going there.

I just made it plain. It turned out better than I thought it would. My wife wanted to make it , I didn't think I would care for it ,but I was wrong.

Welcome to this friendly forum, Jerry. I know you will find a lot of useful info here from many knowledgeable people. I am new to this hobby and I have learned a lot already!

My wife sucked me into a few batches that i thought I wouldnt are for and so far I like them all. So far I think there was only 1 batch Ive made so far that I dont care for and that was a 10 liter wine kit.

All my grape wine I make from juice, mostly REGINA. The peach,strawberry, blueberry and pumpkin I make from fresh fruit. I'll use a kit every now and then. Next fall will be my first with time with pressing grapes, with the help from an experienced friend.

Thanks for the welcome Ramona, Belle Vernon is pretty far from Scranton, that part of PA & W. Virgina is beautiful.

Jerry, we have made a WE Barola which is in the basement bulk aging until April. Our 2nd one is WE Symphony which is in the clearing stage right now. We are going to make some root beer in the next week or so.

Jerry, How far off 81 are you?

We travel up to Syracuse from time to time, maybe we could meet up some time for a quick hello and ........... well........ maybe a roadside tasting...

Or just a pizza or something................

 

[jerry]

about two minutes from 81. Syracuse is about an hour away.
