I have taken an interest in starting to make my own wines. I have been to many vineyards, and particularly enjoy more dry red wines. I don't like sweet wines in particular. If there is anybody who can help point me in the right direction, I need some help getting started.
What i want to know is, what are the most difficult RED wines to make? I particularly like the cabernet franc and syrah wines. Are these really hard wines to make? I want to eventually start growing these vines for myself, but have decided to start making the wines for myself first to find out if I really would enjoy making the wines, or even if I'm any good at it. I would prefer to make everything by scratch for myself, and NOT use any kits. I want to get into the nitty gritties of it first hand. Otherwise, I will never know whether or not to get serious with wine making. My long term goal is to have a 5 acre field making various wines. But, I want to start by making red wines first (as I said in particular, cabernet blanc and syrah wines).
Anybody up for helping a beginner? One thing you should know about me, is I am a very determined person. So, I am ready to make mistakes and to learn. But, I'm not ready to spend thousands of dollars just yet. Help please?
