My name is Luis but most people call me Louie or LuLu... A little about me. I work in the Information Technology as a network administrator. I been working in the I.T field for about 10 yrs or so. My hobbies are computers, playing video games on my Xbox and watching movies. My most recent hobbie I've started and been thinking about for a while is making wine.
For the last 5 years I been wanting to have my own vineyard and learn how to make wine. In the future I would like to have my own vineyard or something close to that. I think it's neat to grow grapes and have your own wine that you made from scratch.
I been doing a lot of rearch on line and found two great forums.. These forums are for new growers and wine makers.
1. http://forum.finevinewines.com/default.asp
2. http://www.winepress.us/
Some users from the forums gave me great advice on how to start and what I need to learn. The first thing I did was buy a book call "From Vines to Wines" by Jeff Cox. The book seems good so far since I started on Sunday April the 3rd.
I have already picked a place to grow my vines and see how it goes this year. I first need to clean the area, and make it nice and neat for the new vines.
Below is a current picture of the area I'm planning to grow the vines.
It's going to be hard work plus I'm up to it.
I will be updating this blog as I grow my vines from scatch. We will see how everything turns out down the road. Hopefully I will be able to help someone else who wants to start growing there grapes.
