Hi Bill. I would definitely like learn winemaking.  I’m also going to ask, if anyone would like help with harvest, in exchange for teaching me how and maybe a little of the juice to practice winemaking. maybe each person in the winemaking could practice winemaking a small amount using a juice.  Cheers Dave

Hi David,   13 years ago I received Warlock’s book as a Christmas gift.  Best gift ever.  Still use it to this day.  Strongly second Bill English recommendation to use this book to start.   Not aware of you status re equipment but the closest wine making supply stores are More wine in Concord and Wine Barrel in Berkeley.  Between the stores and the book you can at least get started.  I have already started harvesting and Bill E will start soon as will the rest of the CCC world.  Our association just formed our winemaking consulting volunteers forums for members this Summer  and the best advice I can give to you and everyone else who wishes to take advantage of what we can share is to begin in the early Spring contacting any one of us and begin planning and/or learning what to do way before harvest.  Best wishes this year.   David Hicks
