I just found this forum although I’ve been making wines and ports for almost 30 years. I typically do 2 or 3 buckets of Chilean in the spring, and 2-4 buckets of California/Italian buckets in the fall. I pick wild blackberries on my property and make a blackberry port with them.

I have a basement (insulated) wine cellar, today January 29th, it’s 55F. In the summer it will get to 65F. It would be nice to control it a little better, but the cost to maintain now is zero.

Welcome to WMT! Sounds just like my basement wine room, I'm up in wisconsin so naturally the winters create a nice temp to store wine but summers are not as ideal for storage but do allow me to comfortably ferment wine when its 90 degrees outside its stays around 65 downstairs.

Welcome to WMT! I planted blackberries and raspberries last year. A port sounds interesting!
