Wine looks beautiful. Glad to see you got all of the tartaric acid out before bottling. Do you use a hand corker?

That's a beautiful looking wine. See what you get when you have patience.

u guys r sooo, right, patience is the key! if i've learned nothing else from this website, i have learned that patience is the most important part 
and it should have read wine diamonds, lol, i missed my own typo.
and yes, runningwolf, i did use a handcorker...the one i bought on ebay...handmade, lol...but it serves it's purpose...for now

just thought of a couple of questions....has anyone else made catawba? i was wondering about the aging? you can tell it's not "ready", though not bad, not bad at all...but i wondered what would be the ideal aging?
