What I know TODAY about making wine…

Posted by danleone on August 10th, 2009 filed in my father, wine

1. There is a fine line between grapes rotting and wine.

2. There is a fine line between the science of wine-making and the art of wine-making.

3. There is a fine line between assisting someone with making wine and truly understanding the wine-making process.

4. There is a fine line between traditions of the past and the path to the future.

5. For 35 years, my father danced this dance, while I usually helped.

6. This year, I will try to continue the tradition.

Stay tuned for updates!

    I can make a pretty good milshake if that’s any use.

    No. Probably not.

    I can’t wait to read about the process and to buy a bottle at my liquor store!

    I don’t like wine, but I like that you’re going to carry on the tradition. Who knows, maybe I’d like your wine.

    If I know anything about you at all, I know you’re going to work at this until you understand the process as well as your father did. I’m looking forward to following your progress on your wine-making journey.

    SO glad to see your words. Tradition is EVERYTHING. It is our link to the past and a way to reach out to the future. Can’t wait…

    Good luck to you friend, making wine has been one of the most satisfying and fun, yet also frustrating things I have ever done.

    Great tradition, Dan. I’m just catching up after too long away…and so pleased to find you’re embracing these traditions, that have already become such a part of who you are.

    And I love wine…to drink, of course. I wouldn’t know the first thing about making it, I would so wreck a good thing…so can’t wait to read more about your journey.
