Hi everyone. I have been a long time lurker here as I've been learning the ropes of wine making and recently signed up to dig in deeper.
I have been making Cider and Perry for 5+ years and am only now getting into wine making. I love making beverages from my own grown fruit (I have 3 apple trees and my brother has a pear tree) and I learned about hybrid grapes through our local ag university. They have a large study vineyard with gems like Aromella, La Crosse, Marquette etc. So I planted 4 vines where I could squeeze them in my yard and am starting to make wine from frozen grapes. I made a small batch of Catawba rose last year that turned out....fine. I'm looking forward to learning from you all and sharing in the conversation.
My dream is to start a hybrid vineyard here in Norther Utah and expose people to a local beverage that can be quite amazing.

. I also make kit wines from WE and FWK. I produce about 150 gallons of beer, wine, & cider per year and am always down for trades! Just planted my first cab sauv vine this year, I’d love to get my hands on some Malbec grapes for a sour beer if you have a few LBS left this fall!
