Greetings all,
I think I am going to like this site! I just found it today. I saw that xanxer is new again but was on here before. Here is my quick story...hope I don't bore too many.
I needed a new hobby...since golf takes way too much time. So I bought my first kit (and probably way too much other stuff) and made about 6 gallons of Cabernet Franc/Merlot. If I might say so...."it ain't bad!!!" Obviously way too young. I have drank close to half of the bottles and it is only going on 4 months old. I have 6 gallons of Sauvignon Blanc almost ready to bottle now. Thinking about what I want to try next. Any suggestions? I would have to say I prefer reds but the wine is not just for me....I think I am going to enjoy sharing it with family and friends.
A bit about myself. I am a 58 year old retired educator. Married to my wonderful wife for 36 years. Two sons...31 and 29, a daughter in law, and two lovely grandchildren..a boy 3 1/2 and a little girl who is about 16 months old. My wife and I get to enjoy (spoil) them 2 days a week!
I am looking forward to learning many things on this site as well as meeting some informative and interesting people as well.
I will post some pictures of my wine and wine making endeavors later.
Ciao
