New from New York

[Chris1]

Hi all my name is Chris and I'm from upstate New York and I'm a beginner wine maker started in may 2010 with some fruit wines. The first was a raspberry and the second was a blackcap/black raspberry. My other wines i made over the summer where (all 1 gallon batches)

~ Blueberry
~ Elderberry
~ Peach
~ Cherry

The kits i have made so far are.

Riesling Ice Wine (Selection Special) came out really nice

Vino Del Vida Merlot (its in secondary being cleared right now)

I plan on buying some pails from the orchard I live by next year when they come in they have me on a mailing list to let me know when i can start to order. The pails are 5 gallons of juice. I would also like to get some pails from midwest but I don't have the money for a press right now and I do plan on getting one at some point.

Welcome looks like you jumped right into making fruit wines.
You may want to ck some recipes here and look for the f-pac thread.
Both will help you.
