Hi:
The name here is Bill and my location is in the title. I have just received my wine kits from Mid-West and will do one in a week or two. I went with two really cheap kits Winexpert's Australian Shiraz and California Trinity White because I wanted something to drink quick and get the process down before down a couple of the high end kits to age. I mean why screw up $300.00 worth of wine right off the bat with newbie mistakes. That would make me do this. My real interest lies in fruit, or country wines as I've heard them called, as we have many great farmers' markets here where I can get all sorts of stuff in season. I made sure I got a copy of "Mary's Recipes" for that purpose. I've thumbed about half way through it and want to try every one. Strawberries will likely be my first, or perhaps raspberry as I can always get them frozen cheap. I'd love to make scrumpy, but I am not going to be able to invest in a press nor a mill and the work a rounds I've seen look like a lot of work.
Well, That's where I am at. I'll be seeing you guys around.
