What's in your glass tonight?

[lockwood1956]

The thermostat seems to be about 13-15C out

to achieve 72 Deg I had to set it at 85

it wont achieve a rolling boil with the lid off


but hey!...it was £39 so i will adapt to fit it

Tonight ....I have had ...
A bottle of Miller.....whilst trying to get the barbie going...
A glass of lemon and ginger teabag wine, whilst things were cooking
Friend demolished, almost, the spiced apple tea bag wine ALMOST !!
A couple of glasses of Sauvignon Blanc, cant remember which brand, but was on offer from my local HBS a couple of months ago ...tis nice

I might have a small sniffter of port to finish, or maybe sloe gin...
Decisions, decisions

Tonight I'm drinking a Sauternes-style dessert wine with a bowl of fresh picked strawberries and honey.... pure heaven.

A glass from the first bottled batch of WN1. I am impressed and have purchased far inferior wines, infact I will do some testing with unsuspecting visitors in the next few weeks.

WN1 batch 2 (gooseberry) and 3 (lychee) will be started soon!

Thanks!

I soooo wish I had done that, when I made my earlier batches of Wine#1.....as I "burst" that I had made it, prior to the "taste"
It will be interesting to hear how you get on.

We have some visitors on the weekend so I will test them and report back!

Tonight, I have some Chile Cab Sav, under a fiver from a Danish Lidl. Not too brilliant, but not bad.

Blackberry and Nettle Tea Wine, slightly sweet rose. Too easy to drink. Gulp. I won't be driving in the morning

Some Sauvignon Blanc left over from todays bottling.
I quite like it

Tuborg pilsner tonight. First of all in a smokey public bar.. then back in the Hotel.

Did spy some Mjød (mead) in the window of the local wine shop. Will have a better look tomorrow when it's open.

some 2 year old rhubarb wine - and a very fine wine it is too.

Visitors thought wn1 was shop bought and were impressed, they did find it a bit dry though. One of them is very interested in having a go, I might even see if I have a little kit spare.

Had some Carlsberg after helping someone renovate a steading (and building a monster fire).
Whilst clearing out the farm building I spotted 3 manky Demijohns. Got them as payment for services rendered! Quick clean with rice and water and a 24 hour soak in VWP and they'll be good as new.l

I think I'm going to have to crack open a Lychee wine. The smell of my Elderflower cordial is making feel ill.

EDIT: Tasted the cordial. LOVERLY

Tasted the Lychee wine: To quote the Young'uns; OMG. Age does it wonders. I'm glad that I stockpiled all those can's of lychees!

Impromptu BBQ yesterday pm. Tested the Fruit Merlot on the neighbours - the 3 litre wine box is empty, so it must have been OK
