Deuce

The wine that we made in January was finally finished, so Mike and I headed out to bottle, cork, and label our wine.   It's pleasantly named "Deuce" since we made it on the 2nd date of the 12 dates I preplanned for Christmas, for Mike. 

We had a blast.  It probably did help that we went to brunch first, so I had quite a nice buzz. We also drank wine as we were bottling.  After we bottled it, they put it on magnets to speed up the fermenting process.  This took 30 minutes, so of course we drank wine then too.  The most romantic part came when we had to choose the foil for over the cork (we got to do that too).  Mike chose orange, and then a separate color to drink on our anniversary!!  How sweet is that?!?!?!

We will have our first taste on our anniversary.  Like any wine it gets better with age, so it becomes a "reserve" at 18 months.  It was so much fun.  So glad we did it!!
