Missouri wine party!

[ckassotis]

Big thank you to Mark and his family for the hospitality, and definitely Doug for the goodie bags. Was a good time! Glad to put faces to the names! PM me if you're ever out towards Columbia.

Thanks to Mark for hosting (and feeding) us and Doug for the goodies.

It was good to meet everybody that made it.

If you do this again I would be interested.

Also I've PM'd a member "terroirdejeroir" who lives in Columbia...we've never met but talked about getting together.

I'm a newbie to winemaking but my shtick is making wine from the tropical plants I grow in my greenhouse: calamondin, guava, hibiscus, carambola...so far. Also other country wines from plants grown on our property.

ok, how about some names to go with the pics?

Absolutely - the next time we plan an outing we make it public on the forum again. We can double back to this thread and make sure we give all the folks that are interested in coming a heads up....

 

[garymc]

I think it would be nice next time to make a list of the wines tasted.

 

[Julie]

Wow this is awesome to be able to put all these names to all these faces. Nice meeting you all. Looks like you guys had a real good time.

 

[Brew and Wine Supply]

It did rain and was a bit windy, but otherwise it was a good time.

 

[winemaker_3352]

Yeah it was an excellent time. Being the first gathering we had - I really thought it went well.

I like Gary's idea of having a sheet with wines on there and wines tasted. Could make it blindly - then folks could add objective comments...

 

[winemaker_3352]

So i was taking the pictures at the party - so i am not in any of them - so i thought I would post a few pics of myself so folks could place a name to a face. I don't have any individual ones of myself - so you get to meet my family


My son (Garrett), daughter (Gracie), myself (Jon - winemaker_3352)

Myself (Jon - winemaker_3352)< holding my newest son (Grant), Garrett, Gracie, my wife (Lesley) - we are back stage at the circus here...

Nice family Jon and thanks for posting. I have enjoyed looking at the pics.
