Not to mention all of the great friends we meet here! I have gotten more useful information here than anywhere. It's great getting different info from different people's experiences.

Here you go! He is down 124 pounds..........so proud of him! (Were you meaning Mikael being my roommate? Nope, just me and Pinot!)

So here are the pics that I also posted to Facebook. Also included is a picture of my new roommate too! It was getting a little too lonely. :-)

Hi Everyone! I know it has still been ages since I have posted, but it has been a busy year. I just spent the entire weekend cleaning just about every single piece of winemaking equipment I own, and racking about 100 gallons of wine this weekend. These wines have been pretty neglected lately...

That can't ALL be mine! I guess I better stop ordering from Amazon after drinking all that skeeter!

LOL, I'll be sure to grab them my next time in! I'm sure that they will make for some interesting wall art in the new apartment! ;-)

I had a batch of Sauv Blanc I made a few years ago, thought it tasted awful but never got around to emptying them and cleaning out the bottles, so they hung out on the rack for a year. I'm glad I never did because they really came around, the funky flavor it had more or less disappeared. I say...

Hi All! Long time no see, just wanted to check in. I haven't been very active in the forum lately, but have had a roller coaster of events happening in my life lately, unfortunately mostly bad with a few good that have helped make up for it. I'm hoping that as the dust settles I'll be able to...

Yea, sure, Of course! Did I mention it's also my anniversary this weekend too! :-P At least we got to go out for a really nice dinner last night! Now back to the grapes! :-)

It's been a BUSY couple of weeks! Last week got to spend a few days up in PA/NY with Mikael. While visiting, got my very first Tattoo! I'll be taking pictures later and can post. We met up with DJRockinSteve for lunch and a trip to Walker's last Tuesday. While out there, we stopped by...

Happy Birthday Tom!!!!! :-)

Wow! 9 gallons? That is more like a triple batch! It will drop a lot of sediment though. Mine wasn't quite that milky in color, a little more red. But I'm sure it makes a difference with the ingredients you use (the type of cocoa powder, etc.). It will be awesome once it's done and aged!

Racked a few more wines, also ordered my grapes! I decided not to get anything too exotic, went with Cab Sauv and Chardonnay (I'm going to try battonage on it). I also noticed on Walker's website that they are opening Sept 20th, so I'm planning a road trip for the end of September to get some...

Things have been crazy for me lately, but I got out of work early today (with my supervisor's blessing even!), so I'm finally going to keg 3 gallons of my Apfelwein, and bottle the other 2 gallons leaving it uncarbonated. I'm also hoping to be able to rack my Cranberry, strawberry and Chocolate...
