As far as I know, WineMaker is the only magazine for amateurs. If you want
to take your interest to another level you can try Practical Winery and
Vineyard Magazine (http://www.practicalwinery.com/) But it caters to the
industry. There's a lot of stuff in there that deals with machinery and
volumes, budgets and experience beyond the likes of you and I.

If you want reading material that is more advanced than WineMaker, but
applicable to amateurs, you might be better off with some good books.
"General Viticulture", "From Vines to Wines", "Biology of the Grape Vine",
"Winery Technology and Operations: A Handbook for Small Wineries", "The
Production of Grapes and Wine in Cool Climates". I could go on. If you do a
google search for winemaking or grape growing publications you'll find more.
There's lots out there.

One of WineMakers technical editors published a winemaking book. His name is
Daniel Pambianchi. It's a pretty good book.

There are also a ton of amateaur winemaking web sites that offer great wine
and grape information.
