Wining, as my wife will tell you, comes quite naturally to me.
Well, whining at least. So, what a natural extension of that pension but to blog of the passion of learning to make wine? From scratch. That means no kits, no getting grapes from others, but pure wine making from literally the ground up.
Ok, so I have no experience in this. But guess what? Neither did anyone else who ever made wine until they actually made wine. Some had it bread in them from the day they could first crawl to the window and look out over the vast hillside of the family vineyard filled with rows of growing vines. Others, like myself, will learn as we go. I will try to surround myself with people who know what they're doing, including the owner of Jewel Town Vineyards right up the street. I will succeed and I will fail, and it's all ok. It'll be hard work, but it will also (hopefully) be fruitful in the end. Pun intended.
I know this will be a long process. I know I have a ton to learn. So here we go. I'll share it all with you, so that as I learn, you too can hopefully learn something from me, not the expert, but the simple student. Perhaps you will even offer me some advice! Please feel free to leave comments, I will read any and all that come my way.
Wish me luck, pray for me, and if you're ever in Northern Massachusetts and see a sign for Inverness Farm, stop by. I'll show you the crop. Maybe we can even share some wine!
Psalm 16:11
You make known to me cthe path of life;
in your presence there is dfullness of joy;
at your right hand are epleasures forevermore.
Psalm 1:3
He is like ia tree
planted by jstreams of water
that yields its fruit in its season,
and its kleaf does not wither.
lIn all that he does, he prospers.
