After spending about six hours reviewing this forum, I joined to tell you all that many of the questions I had were answered in the time spent. Thanks to all.
Winemaking is a new hobby that started about three months ago with an Orchard Breezincranberry chianti kit, and has continued with plum, mayhaw, peach, blueberry, and mango now in secondaries and cooking or bulk aging in glass.
I am a retired science teacher and coach, now actively pursuing putting in fruit orchards. Twelve hundred southern highbush two year olds are growing in the front pasture, one hundred fifty mayhaws in the back, and about seven more acres are undergoing preparation with irrigation for the peaches, plums, pomegranite, sugar pears, nectarines to follow. If all goes well the pine trees on the rest of the property will be scooted out and more fruit planted. Is there a recipe for pine wine? With all the fruit to come I figured a little wine might use up a little.
Althoughthe wife thinking I have gone mad, the neighbors wondering what is happening, and all the new challenges such as how to get the wine to turn out life goew well.
Glad to be aboard and get ready for questions.
