Or my excursion into winemaking
My first effort at making my own wine was in the late 1960’s (I was
a teenager about 17 years old) in Florida trying to make orange
wine. Not knowing anything about, it was less than successful
(miserable failure is a good description). Fast forward
40 years, and here I go again, but this time I spent more time and
effort learning what to do. Where
possible I will place worthwhile references under the links heading.
