Make your own wine. In about an hour from now Mr. GG2 and I will be enjoying some cheese and crackers with a glass of 2026 Chateau de GG2. A semi dry red wine with vanilla notes and a blackberry finish.
Made from 1 1\2 jugs of Welch’s grape juice, 4 ounces of sugar, 4 cloves, some crushed up red grapes from the produce section and one small container of blackberries. Add a cup of brewed black tea and a package of Fleishman active yeast and you’re good to go. Of course you need a 1 gallon Carlo Rossi glass container with a $3 airlock but its fun and rewarding.
