Whoa.....I can't do this again. I made up a blend of concord and niagara a while back. Have had it "aging" in the jugs for a bit. Decided to bottle a gallon of it to pass to friends. Had a little more than would fit in the bottles......so I drank it. Mighty good stuff. Now, I also have 6 gallons of Blackberry Merlot that was ready for bottling. Oh, I do not have a 6 gallon carboy. Do you see where this is heading? Yep, one gallon was in a seperate jug. Weeellll......it also had more than would make upfull bottles. Waste not, want not....I drank it too!!!!! Here it is 0910 hours and I'm about half way soused. The concord/niagara blend is better than any store wine I have ever gotten(of course I'm not a connoisseurof wine), but it's a dry and delicious. The blackberry is also good, but it's more my wifes taste than mine. I still have 5 gallons ofeach to bottle, but I think I'll wait till mid afternoon to do them.
Morning bottling

I also did that blend last year and it was a big hit. This year is going to be Niagara and Fredonia.
