After a few months of pondering it, I've decided to take on the task of making wine. Pictured above is a couple of shots of my dad's wine room. He recently passed and I've finally decided to carry on the tradition. Over the next month or two I'll be transplanting this operation to my own basement, and most likely disposing of a majority of what's fermenting. Some of it has been working since 2008 and I'm sure isn't any good to drink. Don't worry- he left roughly 100 gallons of drinkable wine.
Looking to see if there are any brothers here into the craft at all. I know wine somewhat, but I've never had hardly a hand in making any before. Helped my dad from time to time but I still don't really know what I'm doing. Anyway, looking for whatever knowledge I can soak up- whether that's picking someone's brain here, or a book recommendation, etc.
I've got every tool I need except the know-how. Ideally I want to make some fruit wine (plum in particular has always been my favorite) but I'm also interested in crafting some table wines.
