Hello to all. I have been lurking in the
shadows, absorbing </span>all sorts of wisdom
from the folks on this forum and finally decided that it was well past the time
to officially join. I can honestly say that this is not only the friendliest,
but also the most knowledgeable group that I have run across. I would like to
thank all of you, who unknowingly helped another ‘newbie’ get started. I
started off with a VR Chardonnay, Merlot and Riesling, all potable now. I have
bottled an Australian Chardonnay, White Zinfandel, and an Amarone. I have a SE
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Pinot Noir bulk aging and a SO Viognier in
Primary fermentation. Anxiously waiting in the wings is a Cellar Craft Rosso
Fortissimo. I can already see that it is going to be a major test of patience
waiting for these 1 year(?) wines to mature. Thanks again, for all of the
information that you have made available. I only hope that at some time in the
future I will be able to return at least a small portion of that which I have
learned. </span>
