Look what I found!

While slogging through useless trash in storage, I came across a few bottles of wine wifey and I made when were just married, if our oldest was born I don't remember her being there when we were picking the grapes.

I opened a bottle even though it was mid morning, just for a taste. Not bad at all.

That is a lot of wine to find

Wow, Richard, you have enough to share!
One of my cousins was into making wine big-time. They thought it was good, but no one else did. For my Mom and Dad's 50th anniversary, the cousin gave them a case of wine with their picture on the label. Nice gesture, but no one could drink the wine.....

My thoughts exactly, @valley ranch! How does one lose that much wine in a place it can be found?

 

[ninnymary]

I certainly would not have forgotten that many bottles! Didn't you get thirsty?

We must have placed that wine when working on the cellar. I thought there should have been more but never thought to look elsewhere.

We have a good bit of wine in the cellar. I just forgot about this press.

 

[bills]

Must have used some really good quality corks, if it is still drinkable. That's often the downfall of homemade wines.

Greetings bills,

I bought these corks, they're solid plug, I do and have boiled corks that were removed ,with twin blade removers, and reused them. These corks have suffered but remain intact until removed.

This wine was made here, and is home made, but I'm not a first timer, I've made wine as father and uncles made wine from when I was a young boy.

Sounds like you know a bit about brewing, good to hear from you. Like to hear what you've been up to in the way of fermentation. If you've time, let me hear, and pictures are always nice.
