Paul B. wrote:Howie, I'm really glad you brought it up. Of course it will come as no surprise to you that I would be wholly in favour of such a separate forum, and if it's not too much of a burden to Robin, it would be GREAT to have it added as an extra forum on this site - the Netscape interface is simply not equal in user friendliness to what we have here.
With that, I cast my vote strongly in favour of such an addition and look forward to a renewal of viticultural and enological discussions.

Robin Garr wrote:Why can't - in fact, why <i>aren't</i> - such discussions happening in this forum right now? Wine making and viticulture are certainly on-topic.
My two primary concerns are a little bit contractictory: If it's a viable topic, will taking it out of WLDG weaken the breadth of discussion in WLDG? And if it's not a viable topic, where's the advantage in starting a weak, low-traffic forum?

Robin Garr wrote:I'm not opposed, Paul, but for the sake of fact-finding and debate, let me ask an obvious question: Why can't - in fact, why <i>aren't</i> - such discussions happening in this forum right now? Wine making and viticulture are certainly on-topic.
Paul B. wrote:That said, it could be due to the layout at Netscape where we actually had separate fora for these topics, that I haven't really felt that there was an analogous set-up here.

Howie Hart wrote:Well, after 14 posts in 2 days, this thread has fallen back to page 4 with no more posts in over a week. In the meantime, there have been at least 2 other threads dealing with Winemaking/Viticulture. These have led to spirited and informative discussions. Dan makes a good point whether having such posts in a separate section would generate any more interest. Although I think a separate forum would be cool, I currently believe that posting such topics in "The Wine Forum" is satisfactory. However, if a lot more posts on the subjects are generated, I may change my mind. I would expect more posts during the harvest/crush season starting next month.
