Just thought i say hello to everyone.I have learned alot lately just reading these forums.I used to be an avid Bourbon drinker then a few months ago i decided i would try some wine due to the Dr orders then i thought well it cant be to hard to make an i cant make whiskey on Ft.Hood anyway i might as well try it.Now im finishing my second batch an im hooked.I recently tried a chocolate cherry port an i was instantly a port drinker so i plan on making some soon after i get a couple more batches complete. Well folks thats me just happy to be in the company of good advice.

Welcome to the forum! Glad to hear you're so open to change and new experiences. Wine has to be healthier that bourbon.

Welcome Old Sarge to the forum


When I had my "visit" to Ft. Hood it was during an ice storm.


Enjoy the time

 

[Grumpy]

Well Scott if you were here an something was on the ground i must have been deployed.My wife says i complain about no snow so much God doesnt allow it to snow when im home.Im actually from missouri so its alot diferent here.By the way have you ever used any of the alexanders juices?

 

[Scott]

Grumpy,


I haven't tried those juices, I'm new to this hobby but sure someone here has some advice on the matter. Great people as you will find out.


The ice storm there did pretty much shut everthing down, must have been in '84 or '85.

I believe NW and Appleman both have used them. I think NW uses the to add to her fruit wines to make wines such as Cherry Merlot. My brother-in-law made 2 wines using them and they cam out awful but he really has no idea what he is doing and refuses to accept help.
