Last weekend, Brian and I bottled two batches of wine–Pinot Noir and Mataro-Shiraz. Both were quite tasty. This bottling came just in time–my wine racks were starting to look rather bare. But, that problem has been solved as I put the wine on the racks yesterday.
I have two more batches going at the moment–Chardonnay-Viognier and Riesling. We’ll probably be bottling those next month. Not sure of the exact schedule…
I have one more kit that hasn’t arrived, an Australian Petit Verdot. I’ve never heard of this type of wine, so I’m looking forward to trying it. I won’t be making that one until the summer, though. I’ve decided that I’m definitely making strawberry-zinfandel this summer and I always like to have two batches going at once (it takes less time to bottle two batches at once versus two batches separately), so I’ll make the Petit Verdot after I get the strawberry-zinfandel started.
This concludes this week’s wine update.
