With a nose of toasted oak, vanilla, black currants and blackberries I decided to go ahead and bottle my Port today. I am well pleased with the outcome of this one.
My only problem with this batch was with my bottles. During the cleaning process ( oxyclean, a lot of them developed discoloring on the glass. It is a bluish green discoloration. Has anyone else experiened this?
Anyway, I took a smoke break after I got them corked and "Mittens" decided to pay me visit or saw I had my camera and wanted her piture taken
If you can see them, she has 5 toes on her front paws..hence, the reason for the name, "Mittens"
I also racked my Peach for the last time and its next trip out of the carboy will be into bottles
. The gallon jug next to is some of my Pear wine.
