Wine Time

This was the weekend we bottled our first ever batch of wine! And all in all it went really well!

We filtered (no actually my sister and brother in law filtered it) earlier in the day so it had time to settle before we bottled it! It was alot of fun! And our wine is great! We tend to like sweeter wines so we bought some sweetner to make it more to our liking! Here are some pictures!!

    One of the first steps

   Second step. He's siphoning it, not drinking
Into the other carboy it goes. Notice how murky it is still?

After 6 weeks, and being filtered, this is what a glass straight out of the carboy looks like!

      Lets get bottling!!

    We got 30 bottles of Cabernet Savignon from this kit

 Time to cork em!!

        Nicely done Jason!!

  Putting the seals and labels on!!

 Our wonderful taste testers!! This is James. He said "Its actually good!!"



This is Kristin... she is not drinking wine because she is pregnant.

 Here comes the other sister Katherine, who was also shocked that it was good!!
  Ps. Thats my painting on their wall!!

            Beautiful Bottles of wine!!

      Starting the next step on the Chardonnay! 

             Transferring into another carboy

Jason and I have talked about wanting to do this for a very long time, and finally we did it, and we're hooked! We dont even drink alot of wine but its so nice to have some wine kicking around the house for gifts or when guests comes over, or lets face it; for when I feel like have a glass of my own home made wine!! Jason and I both got 15 bottles out of the first kit!! We're on a roll!!
