Homebrewer now also making wine.

Greetings. We have a few guys at my job who make wine and I finally decided to give it a go. I've been brewing for about four years. Hoping to learn as much here as I did at homebrewtalk.

Welcome, Petey! Welcome to WMT!

About a hundred years ago, I lived in Sound Beach for a few years and in Coram for a few years.

Hi Petey, and welcome.

Welcome to the forum!

Are you going to start with a kit or jump right into something more challenging?

 

[petey_c]

I jumped right in. Talking to my "wine-r" friends at work, I decided I wasn't going to waste time making cheap wine. My cousin and his wife are "cork dorks" and they've taught me a some about wine. My WE Pinot Noir is chugging away as we speak. It started about 5 hours after I pitched the yeast (12/5). I also have a WE Cab waiting the wings.
sour, about 100 years ago I spent some time in Milwaukee and Kenosha. Up from Great Lakes. Okay, it was about 1982 or so...

What a nice symmetry! My LI stint was early to mid '90s.

sour, I should clarify. I was stationed at Great Lakes. I didn't live there. Being stationed somewhere and living there can be two different things.
