Mint /lemon balm wine - phototorial

Got the AC on here!!!!! I notice some buds on the trees!!

Well, Santa was good to Waldo. Being a Wine Maker now has opened up a whole new areana of goodies on "What to get Dad" for Christmas. I received a great book on Wines from my daughter that has a concise history on wines, the wine regions around the world and just about anything else you want to know about Wine, a really nice set of wine tools from my Darling, an old antique silver and crystal decanter,








a Vinoferm acid test kit and coming from a friend but not arrived yet is a floor corker. He was no sure of the make but said it was black so I am hoping for a Portugese with brass iris. He bought it on eBay and is coming from Canada. I also bottled my Green Apple Reisling yesterday which I cannot see lasting very long as it was very good at bottling and has been sampled now by 5 different people, all who wanted a bottle..NOW.








I also bottled my Muscadine/Grape yesterday and it is still a bit tannic but I believe it will be a really good wine with about 6 months of aging.








Oh yes, also started 6 gallon of Blackberry with the 2 cans of Vinters Harvest Blackberries my Son got me for Christmas. My New Year has kicked off great and hope yours has too. Looking forward to the reunion this spring.Edited by: Waldo

I apologize to martina for posting this on her turf. I wasnt paying attention and thought I was in new post mode so Martina feel free to move this if you wish. I do enjoy being in good company though Edited by: Waldo

Hey martina,

You seem to know a lot about flower wines. Please share some info (for a person who is nieve to this wine):

What can you compare the taste to?
-is it dry like a cab sav, fruit wine apple?
-I would think medicinal flavor... how wrong am I?
-what is a typical finished ABV%?

Also, I have a georgous yellow/pink 'friendship' rose. I can get it to produce 'tons' of flowers. Have you ever heard of a "rose-flower" wine (obviously not color)?


Thanks for the great posts an info....
