Yeah so I have been a bit slow on this one but I bottled tonight 14 and a half bottles. Will use that half botle as my quality assurance test, already had one glass and it packs a bit of a punch but is very smooth going down. I am looking foward to having this on a cold winter night in front of...

Ok so I have been a little slow with this wine but I am almost ready to bottle, it cleared beautifully and the color is awsome. Hope to bottle this week. Managed to have a glass of it tonight and YUMMY. Very smooth and sweet but packs a punch. I am looking foward to opening a bottle on a cool...
