A month of tastings

Day 25 Santa's Christmas Cheer

This one is one of my first meads that I added spices and I admit I used way too much. The good part is it really makes a terrific mulling wine with my only addition being some brown sugar or honey and a bit of orange peel.

Day 27 2008 Pacific Quartet

This is the rest of the PQ from the first batch WE released. For all those that missed out on this LE kit - I am so sorry you missed this fantastic wine! For those who have asked about kegging wines, this one has been in the keg since it cleared and we have just poured a glass at a time using a picnic tap and nitrogen to keep it topped off.

Day 28 Lime Margarita

 

[Wade E]

Was this one of those Twisted mists? How was it?

 

[vcasey]

Yes a twisted mist kit and it was a combo pack of both Lime and Strawberry. The lime is a bit tart but was very good and since it was lime the tart was expected. I had a sip of the strawberry when it was bottled and it was as good as last year. These kits are really very nice and they hid the alcohol (14%) very well. My son says dangerously smooth.

Too many labels to post right now, perhaps later. Yes some are repeats, one of my sisters visited today and had a list of wines she wanted to try. Was going to have some sparkling wine later but my taste buds are MIA.

Happy New Year everyone!!

I've been using MS Publisher with a little help from another MS product, a photo editor, that I can't remember the name and it was not compatible with Win7 so it got left behind.
