Me down in the cellar

Age: 52 years old
Residence: Petaluma
State: Ca
Country: USA

Currently I am employed with Safeway as a Retail Clerk (30 years) but have interests in Computers, Winemaking Flying, and Sailing.

Right now one of my favorite hobbies is making wine. As I live in Sonoma county and Napa is only a hop away, I can get good quality grapes of all kinds. I also have just finished building my cellar in the backyard, so now I have a place to store and produce all this wine. My friends call it a bomb shelter. If you are a home winemaker and are interested in trading, let me know and lets work out something. I think that my wine is pretty good and we do pour at a home winemakers get-together in the Napa Valley annually. It is called "The Homewinemakers Classic".  In 1996 I had three wines in the Sonoma County Harvest Fair, my 1993 chardonnay, my 1994 Cabernet and my 1993 (free run) Zinfandel. I received a Silver for the Chardonnay and bronze for the Cabernet and Zinfandel.

The other little activity I managed to get myself into lately is flying. I now have my Private Pilot's License as of July 1997. I have some Flying pictures up now.
