New guy from georgia

[NoQuarter]

Hi everyone.
New with most of this computer stuff and to this site. After looking through site a few hours, I find there are a lot of knowledgeable folks here with a lot of helpful responses to the questions asked.
I've made country wine for many years from available wild fruits as well as my own homegrown stuff. (muscadines, elderberries, black and blueberries, loquats etc...)
Have had many batches with problems with no help...guess now I know people that can help. Learned to make wine, port and whiskey from my granddad but he has not been around the last 30 years or so.
Currently have blackberry port in secondary and will be bottling a couple gallons of prickly pear wine that has been clearing up since Christmas.
Looking forward to spending a little time on this site.

Hey, do you make any muscadine wines or scuppernong wines?

 

[NoQuarter]

I make muscadine wine. I grow Ison's muscadines, forage from the local forest wild muscadines and lately been growing southern home. I have made wine from these for many years.
Southern home is a muscadine / wine grape cross from UNF. We cant grow no wine grapes here due to pierces disease.

Johnd,

I live on The Rez.

Not many folks from outside the area around Jackson would even know what “The Rez” is, but I have a buddy who used to live there as well. I’m right down 55 from you on the Northshore of Lake Pontchartrain.

I make red & white muscadine wines from my 80 vines. I have Carlos, Noble and Ison varieties plus a few other eating varieties. Love it..........good stuff...
