New member here from Vienna, VA! I’ve been passionate about wine for years—both enjoying it and learning the craft behind it. I love everything from the complexities of old-world wines to the bold expressions of new-world varieties.
Lately, I’ve been diving deeper into winemaking at home, experimenting with different grape varietals, yeast strains, and aging techniques. There’s something incredibly rewarding about watching a wine evolve from fermentation to bottling. Right now, I’m working on a small batch of Merlot and testing out a barrel-aging process to see how it enhances depth and structure.
Looking forward to sharing experiences, learning from all of you, and geeking out over all things wine!
Cheers!
