This Forums Attitude and Everyday Postings

Best forum around. Friendly knowledgeable folks here always willing to lend a hand and help out when needed.

I agree with everything that was said in this forum, and seeing that it is a wine forum I say "I'll drink to that and invite everyone to do the same".

That sure was a nice OP, Steve! I learned to make wine by bumbling around and never gave up bumbling around. This place has in a short time added a few cool twists and tips to make my wine bumble better. And like most really good forums, it is self-correcting over time so that a consensus does emerge on most general topics. You never see a raging personal flame war over whether or not to sanitize, for example.

It's a polite place.

If I ask a question, I am putting myself in a vulnerable position, and I have seen people get raked over on other forums at times just for asking. Not here. That speaks volumes.

I just can't believe you said such a thing!!!
Just kidding. Thought I'd shake you up a bit!!!

You are right, we try to keep things friendly here, just like I am sure the FVW forum did. We can disagree without being too disagreeable. I think we do a pretty good job of it, too.

LOOK I WAS JUST SAYING! NO NEED TO FLAME ME, EVERYONE IS ON MY SIDE ANYWAY!




Gee, that 'tude takes away a lot of energy I could be putting into getting drunk!

Er, scratch that, I really mean making wine! Yeah, that's it!

Good morning to all

. I have belonged to both websites, AND somehow I feel like I'm losing an old friend. I hope all the other winemakers who I've become acquainted with on the other side will continue on this site, on which there are a lot of great people, good conversation, and great debates, but never taken to the edge , my motto.. Think outside the box ......... talk to you soon on -w
WHEN GOOD WINES GONE BAD OR CLEANING UP AND SPECIALITY WINES.

I may be late to agree, but I do so with gusto!!!

I have learned everything I know about making wine right here! You guys/gals are indirectly responsible for the awesome quality of my wines. I thank you. My wife thanks you. My friends and family thank you.

And I thank you again! It would have taken me a long time and a lot of trial and error to get to where I am today, thanks to you all. I only hope to give back to the newer noobs what has been given me. Kindness. Curtesy. Respect.

So does that mean that you nice gals/guys are also responsible for my screw-ups?

Tony, like my favorite line from "Animal House"..."You screwed up, you trusted us!"

Happy St. Pat's, Joe. I still have a bottle of your raspberry to try. Thought it would be great this summer on my back porch.

Time in a bottle

Yes Tony, time is drawing near. Open up the raspberry wine anytime you want, serve it chilled, talk to you soon. Amarone is my favorite,........
