Planning

The old saying goes:  No planning means planning to fail.
This is true of just about anything, including and especially true of, winemaking.  This past semester, I wrote a technical report on winemaking, future tense.  It was not an all encompassing thesis on winemaking, but just on one wine that I want to make.  It is extensive.  Twelve pages and not too much white space.  It did include the use of new (to me) products/technology.  When you are thinking of what to make this season, then think about what you have done and what you want to do better.  Then do some research to find a way of attaining those goals.  This will go a long way in making better wine.  Remember this is the time to do that research.  I would suggest starting at the links page of www.nys-homewine.info.  Don't worry about getting to the "right site" immediately, as one can find some interesting things before finding what one needs, along the way.
