I was never a wine drinker until I got together with my sweetie. His drink was Sangria. I usually enjoyed a bourbon or rum mixed with a liqueur. But his mother made wine & when she passed away, Sweetie inherited all her wine-making paraphernalia. The house we bought together had apple, plum, pear, & cherry trees, along with a very old grape vine. Way too much fruit to eat, so we decided to try wine-making. It took us a while to finally make something worth drinking, but we’ve one ribbons at the OR State Fair (until someone realized there was a law against taking home brew out of the home dating from prohibition). We even won silver & golds at the Newport Seafood & Wine Festival. That was fun!
Good for you!
(I do like Sangria :-)
