Welcome Bill, before you pull up that chair... Can ya get a couple of glasses ........ your going to be here a while....... Pour a glass of wine...... And enjoy.
Well I am a retired truck driver, moved to arizona from Oakland ca.
I am older than the sign in chart as it only goes to 1931 and I cam into
the world in 1927. Still spry haven't made any wine for about 30 years.
When I look as some of these reciepts that say age for 2 or 5 years I woulder if I will be around.
Living in Arizona in the summer with the air cranked on at 8 am I can
keep it 80% in the house til about 4 pm and then it sneaks up to 84
so I guess I will be making most of my wine in the winter months.
By you all
just plain bill
It's nice to see that we have some very experienced winemakers, even though you took a 30 year hiatus. A lot has changed in winemaking, but a lot has stayed the same.
I'm thrilled that you have joined a great forum, and keep us posted as to what you're making!
I'm not really sure about the flower, flowers just make me feel fresh, I'ts amazing how they form and and become alive. To sit back on a nice warm evening, of course sipping a glass of your wine, and see the flower garden alive with all sort of life. Or maybe that's just because the sipping of wine has lasted to long.
I have grown Okra a few times, the flowers look just like Hibiscus...really lovely....my hubby says I just grow it for the flowers as I don't cook it often enough for him.... [Okra does make it up here on de-tundra, if I buy a short season variety]
I love all flowers, also love to grow fruits and veggies....so rewarding to see something flourish and give you joy....and...or norishment...
