GROW YOUR OWN

Maybe you know a home brew enthusiast like a good friend of mine who, given half a chance, will expound for hours on the joys of producing his favorite beverage. If you're like me, every so often while listening to him you start to wonder what it would be like to make your own wine. And you might even start to think about growing your own grapes. Until recently, though, figuring out how to start meant searching through obscure books and periodicals. While the emergence of the web has brought the necessary information within reach of our home computers, finding it can still be a problem. The answer is Grapeseek, a specialized search engine and directory that indexes pages on all types of grapes and winemaking techniques. If you've ever daydreamed about putting a vineyard in your back yard, or even if you just want to learn more about how people produce the wines you drink, Grapeseek is the place to start.
