I guess I neglected to introduce myself when I joined this forum a few weeks ago. Actually, there are two of us, myself (Penny) and my husband(Mike). We are newbies to wine making but not to wine enjoyment. Spent a couple of years in northern Italy where we learned to appreciate good wine and developed a taste for it. Now it seems like a day doesn't go by without consuming the grape. It's a must at dinnertime in our household. We are in Panama City Florida but I hail from Daytona Beach and Mike is another one of you transplanted northerners from WI (Go Packers). We go north every summer so we have to figure out what to do with the many bottles of wine we plan to have bottled when we depart in June. Speaking of living in Italy, if you have never been there, it is a world all wine lovers would appreciate.We have some wonderful tales of Italy that I will share in due time and in another forum. Am glad to be here and glad to have been introduced to this hobby and this site by our friends at Cove Cottage, John and Margaret. Thanks for all the great advice I have already received from so many of you and keep it coming.
