A bit of background

A chap at work said to me the other day "You should do a blog of your wine making", and I thought "Why not?"
So who am I? Wakefield, nice to meet you.

Me at Tewkesbury Medieval Fair

So, why the blog?
Good point. Why?  A couple of reasons really, I have a few friends are mildly interested and would like to see a bit more about it rather than the odd random Facebook status. And it can serve as a record of recipes and what I learn along the way.
I wont be posting all the time as I have a full time job, a young family, an old broken house in much needed renovation and three cats. The cats are relevant? Of course they are, just ask them.
I've brewed a few wines from scratch and a few beer kits.  It's been a good year from fruit and I'm taking advantage of that by converting as much as I can into drinking form.
So, in future posts I'll first catch-up with what I have done and then go on to talk about stuff that I'm in the middle of and future ideas.
