Welcome to WMT

As Flamingo said patience. I would add in that today we can also pick up quite a bit of chemistry which explains flavors or in your grandpas generation lots of trial and error skilled in the art understanding tastes.

@GVV - Welcome to WMT! I haven't lived there in a long time, but I grew up near Buffalo and went to high school on Grand Island, not too far from Niagara Falls. Your story is a very good one. I started making wine a couple years ago and joined this forum shortly after. The folks here are extremely helpful and forthcoming with information, a lot of which they've learned the hard way. Good luck!

Welcome, sounds like you're off to an outstanding start. I predict you'll be in deep before you know it. Have fun!

Patience is something I haven’t been very good at over the years but I’ve definitely been trying to practice it! Lol

Be careful about asking for patience. One woman asked God to give her patience, and God gave her triplets. I guess it was a long-term project.

GVV Welcome. It's a double pleasure to say you made your own wine from the grapes you grew, or any other fruit, that someone else says is very drinkable.
