On the art of making wine.

This man influenced me in many ways not that I have an objection but he educated me in a way which is really good. Mr. Bae Yong Joon himself is a connoisseur of wine. If you saw his collection you won't be surprised. Because of this journey with him, I have thought of making wine as a hobby of course-drinking it is another story and creating a decent bottle of wine would be a history in the making. Take note, hubby and I thought 'Ono Rouge' would be appropriate ;-)

Anyway, back to wine making. I had a very fun experience and never thought wine making would require a lot of dedication and will power to know what you are doing and patience to wait, see and taste the fruit of your labor.




These are the grapes I collected from a family member's garden. He thought, the wine originated from Germany (some Riesling perhaps? I could be lucky)

These were taken from one vine only...It's not a lot but blimey, it was enough for two gallons.
I managed to segregate the dark ones from the green ones ready to be mashed. A potato masher would do actually. The two gallons were fermenting for 21 days and then bottled and left to mature for further 6 to 12 months. So far so good. ;-)



And these were bottled wines already just waiting for their labels.



The start of a collection. I am hoping to add 12 bottles every month and save only the best.
