A Toast!

The results are in and my husband rocks!! (of course, I knew that already!) For the second year in a row Dave has entered the Cowie Amatuer Wine Competition and I'm proud to say for the second year in a row he has placed. This year he took a third place for his plum as well as his kiwi!! That's two third places in a national competition!

Here are some images of the process.

First we clean the bottles of their old labels.




Then we slice & crush the fruit (around 15 lbs. of fruit)




After it ferments for several weeks we then bottle it. (This is my favorite part. There's a real art to it.)




Finally, we enjoy! This truly is Dave's hobby and love. I am just a happy participant :) Congrats to him!
