Hello from Texas

[Melissa]

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I've been getting all psyched up to get my first batch of wine going and finally got up the nerve last night! I have an RJS Crand Cru Intl Syrah in the primary 12 hours and am just hoping that I got it all right!






My husband got my the starter kit for Christmas and I have been so excited to get going! He will attest to the fact that I sanitzied like crazy so if anything goes wrong that will not be the problem!!!

I love wine and trying new wine, but want to know as much as I can about it without becoming a "snob"! Can't wait until I have more space to make more wines! I think I just stumbled on an obsession.

Thanks for all of your posts and the help they have already been. I look forward to getting to know you for real!

That was the excuse I used. Once you get 2 they multiply fast!
