Tell ushow you developed your user name for this site. Some are very obvious (e.g. Wade) and some are not (e.g. ibglowin, although I suspect it has something to do with where he lives). My user name, Rocky (surname Rocco),is a nickname that I have had most of my life.
 
Rocky, on this site I am Appleman. It could describe my physical shape as I aged, but alas it was in reference to a hobby I had a number of years back. I ran an apple orchard for several years until I decided to leave it to the guys with deeper pockets than myself. That leads me to my WinePress moniker - knotsorich, which is what I am after having the apple orchard. On Wade's WineMakingTalk forum I am grapeman which is my current passion and hope to keep that one for a number of years or until my demise and the big dirt nap.

Oak Hill Lane Cellars is from our drive/road. I was able to name my own roadmany many ayears agoand i chose Oakhill Lane. Interestingly, in this valley there are about 10 roads/drives. All the early neighbors wanted to name theirs after birds ie: Mallard Lane; Roadruner; Blue Heron etc. I really did not want a bird name and they insisted so I named it Vulture View. They then decided that Oakhill Lane was not so bad after allso now ya'll know.!!!!

ibglowin, although I suspect it has something to do with where he lives).
Now I would have said that he uses that because that is what he does when he has a couple glasses of wine or he is playing with his wine/grapes (glowin)

I was on duty when I joined the forum (It was after all my work was done) and when I was typing in all my info one of the guys came into the room to ask me a question. He calls me Lieu because of my position so hence the name
 
Bruce,


I was a Sergeant. Does that mean I have to call you "Sir?"

I think Mike is from Los Alamos, NM where they did the A-bomb tests. I thought he was"glowin" from the radiation. Your interpretation seems more likely.
 
Randonneur is the correct spelling and is commonly used in cycling, but directly translated means "hiker". I started using Randoneur as a trail handle on trips to the Appalachian Trail years ago and just continued using it through the years.
 
First letters of my last name. Had that nickname for many years.
 
Then again, there are other reasons for being in the closet. LOL

Come on people, let's hear from some of the not so obvious names, like ClosetWine just did. For example, is Guapo really guapo? Why does Mike be glowin'? Is DancerMan really a dancer? All the World wants to know!

This could be a problem when you graduate to the kitchen or a spare room. If you really get going - I don't think Chateau Closet will sell. LOL
 
A = Arrogant
S = Smart
A =A$$
I = Ishaya
Beliving that big brother is spying on all our activities, it is important to not let too much personal/identifible information get on the "World Wide" Web.

Hey Rocky
LOL Not at all. You can call me what ever you want, just dont call me late for dinner

Where were you a sergeant?- Bruce
 
LOL! Well, I could have part of the kitchen, but in the closet isn't central heated... so when hubby cranks the ac down to 65, my wine is still a happy 76. Plus the kids can't get in my closet.... :)
 
Hi! This is my first post here. I'm a newbie, having made only about 30 gallons, mostly WinExpert and a blackberrywine from scratch.I had friends who owned a restaurant in Key West called the La-Tee-Da, a bit of a jab at those who may be excessivelypretentious. So my NoSnob is my way of saying that I'm not one of those! I'm working on an avatar that shows a hand lifting a glass of wine with the pinkie extended. The picture will have a big red slash through it!
