Any others out there?

Amateur winemaker here - 15 years experience with very mixed results and wondering if there are others who share this madness. I make fruit wines (non-grape, that is) and find that having a smidge of winemaking experience opens doors at the real wineries to an amazing degree - the vintners are almost always helpful and patient with an enthusiast's questions and a little knowledge of the topic beyond that of consumer leads to some wonderful discussions.
