What's in your glass tonight?

[ms67]

a glass of one of last years blackberry wines. 'twas a bit harsh some time ago, is now a grown up's wine, dry, astringent and delicious.
And an amaretto nightcap .. from one extreme to the other, gotta keep my taste buds on their toes!

Since I had to top up the barrel anyway, I pulled out a glass of the 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet to taste. Awesome stuff! Honestly I think it's the best wine I've ever made. It's been barrel aging for 13 months and I thought it would be well-oaked by this time, but not even close. It just keeps getting better and better.

mint wine '09 (13%). Good stuff but not enough mint taste to notice it - and so defeats the purpose - next lot bottled will have a sprig of the stuff in it, just gotta decide on which homegrown variety of 4 to use. The previous years brew had a sprig in it at bottling, was very nice, noticeable mint, with a slight earthy taste.

Just opened a bottle of bilberry and elderberry, although only made in May it tastes wonderful, far superior to most supermarket reds. This is most definitely one to be repeated as a 30 bottle batch.

A commercial Sav Blanc, half price from Tesco, along with a pile of home made honey-and-lemon roast chicken sandwiches and a green salad.

As someone who rarely cooks for himself, I can't begin to explain how good this tastes

Elderflower quickie, enjoyment enhanced by the better half's obvious delight (we do like our elderflower wines).

A commercial 2008 Chilean Cab Sav. Goes nicely with brie, and early 80s Simple Minds.

Balvenie Signature
not my usual single malt type, but it is delicious, and all the better for being a birthday gift.

Very fine it is too.
