Hi,
I was curious if anyone had experiences with making very small batch
wine, if such a practice exists. I have 2 vines newly planted in my
yard and was interested in making wine from their crop down the road.
It is Zinfandel, and I'm in Redwood City, CA near Woodside.
If anyone can point me in the direction of small batch winemaking
products or tips or suggestions, they are appreciated.
