Let's try wine

Sonya and I have talked about making our own wine since we met. Unfortunately, we haven't had the time until recently. About two months ago, we finally did it.

We researched everything we could on the endeavor, bought our equipment and ingredients and got started.

Since time has always been an issue, we decided to start with a kit. We have every intention of making a batch from all fresh ingredients in the near future, but it will probably have to wait until the summer when we can get fresh fruit or wine grapes for a better price. In the mean time, we're going to try the kits. my buddy Ryan and I are also working on the design for a fruit/grape press. That will hopefully be done soon so it's ready for our "from-scratch" batches.

As for now, our first batch of wine is a Riesling and it will be done in about 2 weeks. Just in time for Christmas.













It's ready in 2 weeks!
