What's in your glass tonight?

[spritzer]

I was sorting out some stuff the other night...
And found some Wine number one, made with red grape, that I forgot about
(I found 4 bottles, that are almost 6 months old )
So, thats what I am having tonight.
Very nice, it is too

they taste better when they've aged!

I am having a glass of moo juice (milk) because the dr. told me not to drink on top of the antibiotic he prescribed.

Sorry to hear that you are unwell NW

But cheer up, when you're feeling better and off the meds ... the wine will be just that touch older!

Tonight, I am enjoying a drop of homemade strawberry, raspberry and vanilla wine and mrs.wisp has gone to get a couple of bottles [not much SR&V wine left] so that we can celebrate my daughter arriving home from Kenya in Africa. She's been out there for the last ten weeks working for Platform 2 [charity] and she looks and sounds as though she's thoroughly enjoyed it. We invited her to join us for a drink ... her answer was "You've got to be joking, I've got some 'going out' to make up!'"

She's already plotted the next 12 months. She's going to finish her degree and go out again next year. I think, if she can, she'd like to do a post-graduate course in teaching so that she could work out there all of the time.

She seems to have had a wonderful time. Her only mishaps were getting a Jigger flea burying itself into her toe [which could have been fatal, I'm informed, if it had not been spotted] and getting her purse stolen. The purse being stolen didn't seem to bother her at all. She bartered her clothes and trainers to get presents for the family; which she loved more than negotiating the price.

So welcome home Heather, we're all really proud of you ..... and your mum and myself will drink your health.

Now if ever there was an excuse to have a bevvy, this is it!

Last years Grenache tonight.

Previously I've really enjoyed this. Tonight it just doesn't seem that good. It's degassed, room temp. Just not really hitting the spot tonight. I'll have to finish this last glass so I can have something different tomorrow.

Did have some Syrah/Viogner blend (Kenridge ltd kit a couple of years back) Had a bottle of that earlier in the week and it was great.

Last night : Zinfandel Rosé. Review here:

Being a sharing type, I've opened another bottle of Syrah/Viognier from Kenridge showcase range and forced to drink it, just what you need after a day filtering and bottling!

Well back to basics, drinking a wine # 1 and what a grand drop too, fresh crisp & clean, reminds me very much of a Sauvignon Blanc, maybe not as crisp as a sauv blanc, but not a bad call for a juice wine.

I have a young apple and elderflower #1
I've been churning out some stunning wines but i have just realised I got complacent and stopped following the recipe..had a major brain fart..been putting in 1 carton of apple juice and 2 of the chosen juice!
Not sure where my brain was but MMMMMMMM nice wine!

Modified wine No.1 + Gooseberry.

This is the one which got joint best-in-show at the first VWC comp, and this is the first time we have opened a bottle (to be honest I was worried it wouldn't be as good as I was told).

Even though I say so myself ......

I shall be making more of this. Soon.

[kampervan]

well wine no1 + tayberry
