Sunday musings
Things have gotten better since my melancholy mood the other night. My wife admits to having been a bit on the unhappy side. I need to figure out why though.
On to better and brighter topics. I brew my own wine. Tonight when we went to Chapters (A Local bookstore like Books-a-million or Barnes & Nobles), I found a winemaking magazine. So far all I have been doing was researching on the web, a few books bought or borrowed from the library, and winging the rest. I scanned through the magazine at Chapters and bought it just from the few things I saw. I am slightly curious as to what others do, but I want to be my own person. I want to brew my own way. I know there is a science to brewing so I follow recipes to a degree. I also like to experiment. I like doing odd flavor combinations. To this end I have created some interesting brews, but not marketable. Some of my brews/meads/melomels have had rave reviews. I have had to make a duplicate bigger batch to satisfy the masses. This always makes one feel good. The one thing I do not like is when people are not forthcoming in their opinion of the wine. I am aware that many people are afraid to offend, but I would take it as constructive criticism. I need it if I am going to try to make a business out of a hobby. I need feedback. The people I actually trust to give me feedback are scattered to the winds.
