Greetings from Crystal Lake,Il

Hello everyone. Thanks for all of the great info! Got the bug at a visit to a winery outside of the Wisconsin Dells last weekend. Just racked my first batch to a carboy and time to wait some more. It's a Vitner's Reserve Valpolicella and so far so good! I actually have wine. Very cool. Here's a pic of the first of many carboys.

Welcom to the forum. Seems like I have been to Crystal Lake for a sales meeting many years ago when I was with DEC, in Rolling Meadows. As I remember, it was a really nice area.

I've officially been sucked in. The local shop had a sale and I picked up a Vitner's Reserve Chardonnay for $60. It certainly made my wife happy! Having fun for sure.
