“I am making Elderberry Wine!
I would say “I made elderberry wine,” but since it’s not in bottles yet, I consider the thing still in process.
But I can tell you that it is going very well. This was my first attempt at wine-making. I’ll tell you how I am doing it, after scouring a number of recipes online.
Update: It turned out pretty awesome. It is so rich and nuanced, and has the character of a port wine.
Now we’re aging it in the basement to enjoy around Christmas time, over a year later. We’ve been told that it just keeps getting better and better with age, and my main regret is that we didn’t make more! But we’ll do a bigger batch this year, for sure…”
