It sounds like I has converting to Buddhism or Jainism or something like that. Second, I was SEVEN YEARS OLD, I didn't even get to to taste the wine, much less pick what Christian sect I happened to be baptised into. I kinda think that was determined by whatever church happened to be closest to our semi-rural Wisconsin home. Be glad I didn't wait until we moved to Texas to be moved by Christ, otherwise, you'd be hosting a bunch of baptists. Then again, they wouldn't be drinking your homemade wine....

(Bill drank it anyway)... We had a lot better success with our beers... got some really good tasting ones. Once, after bottling it we'd stored a few cases in a room outside our bedroom... one night they started exploding, either popping the bottle caps or even the tops of the bottles. What a mess.
