Hi!

[czumbrum]

My name is Chris and I’ve been making wine from juice kits now for almost 10 years. During COVID, I got my winemaking certificate through UC Davis. Having completed that and recently retiring, I wanted to get hands-on experience so I did a 2-month harvest internship at King Family Vineyards outside of Charlottesville, VA last fall (2022). It was a great experience and I learned so much more o/s of the textbook learning.

I’m continuing to make wine and I‘m looking forward to learning even more from this group!

Welcome to WMT! Sounds like a good use of your time during COVID. Wish I had thought of that!

Welcome to WMT Chris! Your definitely in my neck of the woods, I live up in East Berlin (Lake Meade). Maybe sometime we'll run into each other (I'm going to Hanover this afternoon to forage for food).

Actually, you sound like a great addition. I’m sure folks will be picking your brain. Welcome.

Welcome to WMT. Wine making was my pandemic hobby and it’s kinda gotten out of control… in a good way!
