Hey everyone! Been a while since my last post. I haven't made much wine lately but I opened a bottle of my grapefruit wine tonight and I thought I'd share my enthusiasm with those who can understand. <?amespace prefix = v ns = "urnchemas-microsoft-com:vml" /></vtroke></v></v></v></v></v></v></v></v></v></v></v></v></vlas></vath><?amespace prefix = o ns = "urnchemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o:lock aspectratio="t" vxt="edit"></o:lock></vape></vmage></vape>
When I bottled this one I was very disappointed, now only about 3 months later, I can't believe it's the same wine. I sweetened it just a bit at bottling, it has a nice sweet taste up front and then it dries out and you know its grapefruit. WOW! I just made this wine because grapefruit was on sale, what a payoff, probably the best wine I've made to date.
Anyway, been making gallons and gallons of beer since the wine takes so long and I have been waiting for harvest season so I can get some good fruit wines going.
Started 4 gallons of Strawberry wine, just picked enough raspberries for a 3 gallon batch and enough cherries for a 5 gallon batch. Blueberries are going to be ready next week so we will be picking enough for another 5 gallons of that.... time for more carboys! </vmage></vape>
