Hello everyone! I started experimenting with winemaking about 6 months ago and am totally hooked. Our house has a old fashioned wine cellar (stone, dirt, 3 thick stone outside walls) from the previous owners (house is 100+ years old), and I have taken full advantage of it. I started out making a few batches from Cru kits, and am currently purchasing juice from local wine suppliers. I did a Johannesburg Riesling and a Barolo from kits. Both taste great and are now in storage. I'm in the process of getting a few more pails of juice from Chile.
Your forum is full of great information from some real characters
I think I will fit in just fine. I 've put a lot of time and effort into my new hobby, which I hope will become a part of life for my family and I. My area is full of people whose families have been making wine long before coming to the US, and I have had the pleasure of learning the "old" techniques from them that I can supplement with more "recent" information I learn from books and websites like yours'. Many people my age have seem to lost interest in things their ancestors have done, and I want to revive the spirit for my children and grandchildren, by the grace of God
I am always coming up with new questions to ask, as well as possible solutions for others. I will try to be active here and contribute my share to this community, as well as post some photos of my progress. I will take all praise as well as criticism equally. Bere per la tua salute!
