I am CuTRis

Today I bottled the Mulberry Wine that I made on July 11, 2023. Here, with temporary labels, are the three bottles. Each was sealed differently. When I first decided to try making wine, I purchased the cheapest corker available. Therefore it takes considerable strength to use. I bottled one this way. Then, I decided to try reusing a screw top bottle. I haven't done this before, but if it works, it's so much easier! The remainder, was put into a beer bottle and I used a bottle capper. Typically, the small bottle is used as a sampler, and the large bottles are stored for years before drinking.

I made this wine 14 years ago, and bottled it 16 months after that. So take your pick if it's 13 or 14 years old. Anyway, I've decided that I need to drink some of my wines in my back stock once in a while. If I don't, someday I will be gone and someone else will get to have them all. They tend to be pretty good. Like this one, sometimes they're pretty strong. This wine was made with very sour wild grapes accompanied by a generous amount of honey.

This is the wine I made June 23rd.

In the spring in 2008, I married my wife. Later that summer, I made a wine from the grapes growing outside the backdoor of the house we lived in. Late the same year I bottled it. Tonight we opened it. It is 13 years old and it was very good.
