  I can probably count the number of winemakers that I have met on one hand.  Invariably, though, I would describe them as approachable, open, and gracious people.  They have consistently treated me with tremendous respect and actually listen to my questions or my opinions as if they have never heard them before.  Their responses are always detail...

  Fox asked me the other day if I was going to start a thread on this years growing season. I've been real busy with other things and haven't had much time to focus on the specifics of the 2013 season.

  I am a new wine lover. A year or two ago I was having troubles staying away from 'the sauce'.  It wasn't alcoholism, per se, but it was getting to the point where I was spending much of my money and getting very little done.

  I am an analytical kind of guy.  Also, sometimes the silliest questions pop into my mind.  I’ll bet there are people here who can shed some light on my questions, below.  During today’s mid-day constitutional (past all the tract houses, past the elementary school, to the snake- and small rodent-infested hiking trails, up and down the hills, over...
