Well I have started my first wine. And all is looking well right now. It is a simple frozen concentrate one. I did not want to mess up anything expensive at first. But all has gone well and we are now starting a Kiwi Melon Pinot Grigio mist kit. We have to say this is so much more fun than we...
Welcome to to forum Louie. There is plenty of helpful people and information on this site. I am new as well and have spent several hours on here just reading and learning. My wife is from CA also, the Marina area i think.
I think that it is a personal taste really. I have had several fruit wines with oak and they were quite nice. Really if you like oak then try it. The best part of making wine is you get to make what you like!
We also will be looking forward to see anyones progress on this. My Wife loves to grow tomatoes and this might be a great use as we often end up with more than we can eat.

Thank you to everyone. Its great to have so many nice people to share with. We are very excited to get going. Looks like we will start with a semi-sweet wine in order to keep us both happy. We look forward to many years of wine making and life together.

Thank you for the welcome. We will check into getting that kit and give it a try. Any idea on a sweeter kit for my wife. We have very different taste.
Thanks
Ken & Kristie.
