DRY COUNTY WINE REVIEW: A WEEK IN PHOTOS (of wine).
Although not all of our beverages from the week are pictured, I assure you that lots of good tipple was consumed. You might notice the blackberry wine pictured below as I was thrilled to finally have a chance to open some of my fruit wines for wine friends. This was really the test. Besides myself, no wine professionals had tasted my homemade wines and I needed them to see promise. Also, the wines had to stand up to a wide range of complex food and flavors. In both challenges, the wines succeeded swimmingly. If wine professionals, wine drinkers, and myself can all enjoy them, and if they can amplify a meal adequately, then it gives me confidence to say I might be on to something with these natural fruit wines. Admittedly, this was a big reason I wanted to go to New York: encouragement or a reality check. For better or worse, I got the former.- Jesse.
