Wine Making

So new for 2010 is wine making! Susie and I are making wine, with the help of our fearless brewer friend, Jen. We went wine tasting to pick out our fave wine styles so we'd know what to make and settled on two different fruity wines to test the water with. First up is a Cranberry Pinot Grigio. We go the kit and set straight to work... Susie and I handled step one successfully and Jen took care of step two... Step three, involving vigorous stirring, luckily Jen, our expert brewer, has the fancy tools, essentially a mixer attachment to a power drill, making the stirring much more manageable.

Next up is bottling of the Cran wine and more mixing of the second batch, a Pomegranate Zinfandel.
