Me down in the cellar

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

Was employed with Safeway as a Retail Clerk (32 years, now retired from Safeway as of November 2009) 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.
