About Me
- Name: wineman
Born in NY in the first half of the last century I grew up not knowing how sheltered and naive a life I was leading. Went to a series of great state universities, coast to coast, - all serving to open my eyes, mind and perspective on life. Became a university professor and did brain research for nearly 20 years. Became a father and enjoyed that continuing process more than I would have imagined. I try to keep discovering more about myself and my aspirations. I keep an open mind and enjoy discovery in all dimensions.

The adventure of nurturing a vineyard through a complete season, harvesting its bounty and creating the elixir of wine is a rich and rewarding experience.
Whew!!! The hard work of making wine this year is nearly over. The last of the Zin and Cab were pressed out this past weekend. The wine is resting now, as am I. It is a time for maturation, completion of the M-L fermentation, and settling. In a few weeks I'll begin pumping the wines into French Oak barrels for their continuing journey to the bottle. The whole process is not unlike raising a child. The more hard work and attention put in on the front end the more likely the end result will be delightful. Neglect and inattention results in difficult, unruly and sometimes distasteful products.
great site dad! any pix from this last harvest? how are those 60 year old cab grapes from Rod's doing? sorry we missed harvest '06, but we're harvesting other fruits of the vine just now! - hz
Steve,
Congratulations on your harvest and on your blog, very professional. Francine and I look forward to tasting the fruits of your labors. BP
