Had a good tidy out of the cellar got another gorm shelving unit from IKEA with a couple of extra shelves and voila storage for another 150 bottles. Any busy busy built an outdoor storage unit for 200 empty wine bottles with room for the BBQ too (well it has just been evicted to make way for the new shelving unit.
After putting on two Viognier kits last week the chef’s madness rose up and the chef’s hat was on and so too was a mad concoction. Soooo if Viognier has the taste of dried apricots then we’ll do that add some dried apricots and some pears and some peaches too and a little honey it tastes of all these things and mix with a basic wine number one ingredient list and we’ll see what we get in 3 months time. It’s fizzing away nicely this morning. Roughly 200g of everything in the list (in 5 gallons) remembering less is more!
And if you start drinking at 6 all your wine tastes fine by 9 and great by midnight
Life would be better if I could brew it as fast as we drink it!

Hi Delmonteman. The pears and peaches were tinned 410g tin 225g net both fruit and juices went in. The honey was a 200g jar of heather honey and the apricots were the 200g soft snack type all from ASDA. Had a success with a Lichee wine using a similar quantity of ingredients (200g per gallon) from tins so that inspired the madness. With the lichee I used just one tin per gallon of wine number one must using Lalvin E1118.
