Not at all. I enjoy the banter. It’s been slow on the forum today.
It may come across as an overstep to say that I own a winery. It started as a hobby. I have all these fruit trees and several rows of muscadines. We don’t eat jellies, and no human can eat that many pies, ha ha. I played around with different wines, and served them at our local tastings. But, I couldn’t sell them, because I didn’t have the papers. So, I built a nice shed to specs and expanded how much I made,, and got the papers. I sold them just for kicks at farmers markets, and push them at our local vintner. One of my daughters handles selling them now. The only thing I do now is pitch yeast and monitor them till aging. Just another hobby that became a side hustle. Maybe she’ll make it bigger. Depends on her hustle.
I’m not out walking my miles of fancy french grapes, flying off to France and San Francisco with crates. I don’t want to misrepresent myself. I dod take a course at the Biltmore, if they have a vineyard anymore. But yes, I am no expert on husbanding microbial organism or the chemistry of alcohol molecules converting into more complex strains of flavonoids. There’s always more to learn. Like pipes… And women.
