Joe everything looks great, especially you. I need to ask- how do you keep your hair that color - you are 60 years old???!!!!! While mine is still mostly brown, it is turning faster than I would like (and I just turned 55). I assume it is natural, but maybe you color somehow. Not intending to be insulting at all if I seem like it - just envious! The only person I know that has kept her hair color is my mother-in-law. Her hair still hasn't turned and she is about 75!


You guys sample a lot of wines when you get together. It must be a great group! Are you guys kit makers or do you just do regular wine? I wish there was that large of a group in my area. That must be fun, educational and a big support group to each other. Keep up the good work.
 
APPLE MAN we use ,grapes,fresh fruit and kits,while most of us use fresh fruit and juices a few of us, use kits also to enhance our variety of product,we also use fresh herbs and vegetables ,we do run the gamete of raw product to make our wines,me i like fresh juice and fruits,i specialize in f-PAC and extracts and blending ,love the Hobie and have a wife who is very supportive of my efforts,are group has some very good wine makers for cellar dwellers and we are at versus levels of development ,but we keep it fun ,but were completive at the same time....WE help each other in every way that it is asked for and don,t pull no punches (tactful) know what i mean.......
 
APPLE MAN no just me ,,I vent a lot ,,don,t hold back keeps me calm and even tempered........no coloring promise
