Well the start of the school year has kept me busy so I haven't had time to update! Here is the status of the cellar at the moment.
I currently have in secondary fermentation:
2 gal Bartlett pear (grown organically on Pippin Orchard Road)
1 gal apple (hand picked apples from Dame Farm in Johnston)
1 gal wild blueberry (french oak) 13.5 % PA
5 gal wild blueberry 12% PA
Currently aging:
1 gal blackberry
2 gal raspberry
3 gal wild blueberry
1 gal cherry
5 gal apple
Looking ahead, I'm excited for the fact that it is cranberry season and I am planning to start a batch of cranberry soon from fresh cranberries. I tried one as you may have read for the very first wine I made, however, that was from mostly cranberry juice concentrate. This one will be from 100% fresh berries! I will keep you updated!
About Me
- Greg
- I guess I really should say that I dont know a WHOLE lot about wine. I mean, I know what makes a wine good, I know the different varietals, I know Rhone, Burgundy, Bordeaux, Pimonte, etc., I know what I like, I can definitely choose a good wine over a bad one, but I still have so much to learn. I am hoping that through the process of wine making I can learn a bit. I read and research constantly about wine and wine making. I hope that I will always be able to enjoy wine and comment on it in an educated and enjoyable way without sounding like a so called "wine snob." I am a firm believe that you can't tell someone which wines they will like, merely just suggest, because everyone's palate is different. Thats why the wine world is so fascinating to me. But I digress... I just hope to make good wine, and share it with others!
