White Wine - The Grogans Looking Good!

September 3, 2008 by admin · Leave a Comment 

Well having been away for a week, I was slightly apprehensive about the state of the white wine when I returned ( the aptly names Grogan! ).

However, my fears were unfounded - the wine is looking clear as day, has a lovely colour to it, and a swift sniff of the contents gives a lovely fruity smell which on aroma matches a lot of Chardonnays I have tasted from the supermarket!

The particularly exciting part of this, is the white wine is actuall ready to drink - i just need to bottle it, and then refrigerate it for a little while, and its ready to taste!

Due to work commitments, this may have to wait until sometime next week - but who cares, I’m sure it will be worth the wait!

Not all home wine making kits are the same!!

So my red wine kit has finally arrived - I opened the package with anticipation, expecting to see the same as my original White Wine Making Kit - how was I wrong!!

Ok, so the basis was the same, tubes, pails, etc etc - but this had a much lesser amount of grape concentrate, and the method to make the wine is a little different.

To chart the two processes, i think i’ll start a Red Wine Diary, and make my current Wine Making Diary a White Wine Diary.
