Tonight. . .
A 2008 Apple and gooseberry (apples from my garden mixed with karls batch, fermented dry and sweetened with a youngs gooseberry kit)
very very crisp, great acid from the gooseberry, smooth and round on the palateN.G.W.B.J.

Oh My God!!!!!
I have stolen a glass of my Blackberry and Elderberry to see how it was getting along (I started this in October)
All I can say is... it's incredible
Smooth with a slight acid bite and intensely fruity full body then just melts away.
My only regret is I only managed to pick enough for 5 Gallons
September can't get here quick enough for me.
I'm really proud of this one - I think it will be fantastic at christmasComment

Just opened a bottle of Trapiche Fond De Cave Petit Verdot 2004. We bought it in a Lidl style supermarket in Buenos Aires and brought it home. It's beautiful.
We wanted to save it but we need thebottles

Bottled my first Wine #1 (apple/grape) today. Had some with dinner. Pretty good, although I guess I didn't de-gas it.

We're having the very last bottle of my '04 Zinfandel tonight. We got a new puppy today, so it's a bit of a celebrationSteve

Not in a wine mood, so it's the cheapest, nastiest, strongest cider they have in the local Scummerfield.
3 litres @ 7.5% = £2.50
mixed with a small shot of tesco's blackcurrant cordial to make it palatable and so it looks like "diesel" (snake bite and black).
Plus, at 7.5% apparently, 3 litres equals 22.5 "units" of alcohol so if I drink the lot tonight I'll have had my weekly allowance (not bad seeing as I didn't get back from the Leeds/Lincoln trip till 0900 this morning)

Beautiful Steve,
I just seem to recall that the pup'll be great as long as you get new training shoes and a decent dog brush
I believe they're quite energetic

Very energetic indeed. Fortunately (for us) she doesn't seem real fond of the cold, so we'll have to figure out a way to get her some excercise in the house. Maybe we can train her to use a treadmill.

Just looked through the crate of wine I brought away with me, and selected a WE primitivo syrah, I'm sure Bob gave me this last year. It's now open ready for consumption this evening. (first sip tells me this is going to be quite nice!!) if I can still see later, I'll report back

Tonight I have a very dubious glass of Dandelion in my hand (see post in flower wines section). Toes numbing nicely, but otherwise not a great experience.You add how much sugar.....?
