hey all, my name is danny, i'm 27 and i'm from new york city. i've been making wine with my father since i was about 5 years old, although i'm pretty sure those first few years i was in the way more then i helped.
my father is from Galicia, Spain, and he grew up on a small vineyard there, where he learned how to make vino. we now make it in his backyard in queens, and it is an annual tradition. it used to be that we kept it all in barrels and that i'd be able to bottle some to take home when ever i wanted. last year i began making my own wine, a sangiovese. my father had never attempted to make that wine before. we made 15 gallons and kept it in a glass demijohn. it came out great, with a slightly bitter after taste.
my father makes a large amount of wine for himself. at least two different kinds of reds and one white (for my mother). he has helped many friends and family to get involved with homebrew.
the grapes in this area haven't quite come in yet, so we will be doing it all next week!!
i know i got a little long winded right here, but i'm looking forward to learning more and more about wine by being here.
