It's been a while since I posted, but I'm still here and I still have a ton of wine aging beautifully right next to me. I recently obtained some of my grandpa's wine.
My grandpa is the inspiration for how I got started in winemaking. He passed away 21 years ago. He lived down the street from us when I was a teenager. When he was 90 he still made wine, but he couldn't lift or carry about of the heavy equipment. So I would go over and lift his 5g carboys and help him rack. It took me 20 years to get started on my own.
I put a lot of effort into my labels. He didn't. But he made great wine. I took these pictures this morning.
I have a glass of that Cherry wine in front of me now and it is very good.
