Well I had this bottle in the fridge long time now..and the wine is going on
5 years old....I gotta tell you I crown capped this champagne bottle....
Pssssssssssst it went and out came lots of bubbles...I grabbed the wine flute
and poured a little in the glass let it simmer in the atm a bit and took a sniff...
kind of smelled musty like my root cellar but not totally repugnant...
laced with aroma of the fruit. Well what a journey it's been and I can show you
better than I can tell you so here is the pic of the stuff 4 years ago in the carboy.

And today I poured a sample of the trees fruit preserved these long years in the bottle
and got this appearance...nice and dry with a spritzy long lasting carbonation bite..
reminescent of the fruit...almost sour but not overly.

I had only been brewing beer about a year by this time...and had been doing odd ferments
up until 2007,,,,so please don't flame me for posting about wine ...
