Hi all.... My name is Gabe Howard, originally from the Dallas Fort Worth area, but the military and government moved me around a bit, and am now in the Nashville Tennessee area. Anyone out there from the middle TN area? I have enjoyed wine for several years, getting to travel to some of the best places in the world to the vineyards and wineries, I picked up a taste for it. I just started getting into winemaking about 4 months ago, and can I say "I AM HOOKED." I definitely have the Vino Bug. If I could I would quit my day job in a flash, but obviously making home brew wine isn't going to pay my bills. I own a company call Tech Pros, Tech Pros is a full scale technology company with also having a website design firm called Creativetopia. So my day job is a techie my fun after hours job is making wine. I just recently bottled my first batch of wine, it was a Chilean Carmenere, which turned out amazing. I bottled this week my Columbia Valley Riesling, which is very good (not bragging). I have going right now Concord, Raspberry, and Strawberry. I own some land and would one day love to have a vineyard and winery here in middle Tennessee. There are like 36 wineries here in such a small state. I really would like to be involved here on this forum, I read alot, research alot, and can I say Google is very powerful, and has been a good resource for me in any questions I have had. Good to meet everyone, and if you would like to chat you can email me at [email protected]
