I just want to say this site has helped me alot so far. One question I have I tried out my first wine and the taste was almost like grape juice with a slight yeast and alcohol flavor. It has been fermenting for about two weeks now and I'm just wondering if this is normal flavor for unaged air and if I let it age will it taste better in six months or so? Thank you for any help!

Wine does take lots of time. Ideally, I'd let my reds sit for 6+ months before I drank any, but that's hard to do when it's so delicious. I have a great brew pipeline, need to work on the wine pipeline.
I know it is hard for the first time wine maker to not want to taste his/her wine but you really need to just walk away from the carboy and let nature take its course. Exposing the wine to too much oxygen is bad for it.

I second Honda. I've tried to do things quickly, like bottle when sediment is still dropping. But with little patience comes large rewards.
