New From Pennsylvania

[wineon4]

Hello,

I live in Pa and enjoy amature wine making, Hunting, and hanging out at my cabin. I recently won 2 Silver Medals, 1 for my Blueberry and 1 for my mixedberry judged by 3 American Wine Society judges. I currently have a carboy of Cherry, 1 of Blackberry and 1 of Reisling going. Just bottled 1 o Blueberry, 1 of mixedberry and 2 of Concord. One of the Concords I put oak chips in the primary then also in the secondary for 1 month, I really like the results.

Wineon4, welcome to the forum. Is the Horseshoe Curve still in operation? I remember going there as a kid when I lived in Pittsburgh.

Yes it is open, they renovated the site several years ago and now it is a nice attraction. I live 12 miles from it.

From Jessup, PA, near Scranton. LOTS of winemakers here! The area is heavily Italian-American, so it's in our blood - literally!
