Bottled second batch today

[FatPete]

TA-DA! Cabernet Sauvignon...sample tasted good. Fruity, not sweet, the way I like a cab red!
BTW, little bit of foam on top is from sanitizer, StarSan tends to be that way. It goes away in an hour or two.

Congrats!

I agree with Bakervineyard. Those bottles sure do look nice, but would look even better with a proper label and perhaps a nech sleeve.

Most folks don't use Alexanders as it makes for weak wine. However, you made only 2 1/2 gallons so it is most likely very good.

I got a recipe from Longtrain where I used 2 cans of alexander cab and five jars of smuckers seedless jam. It is wonderful. Got to make some more as I am almost out.

Your wine looks good, post your label when you do that.
