I think this is the best year I have known for wine making. My Elderberry wine should be spot on by February, just when we need a warming through. Gave a couple of big bottles to a dear friend and his Son. Even though it was Christmas Eve and it was a Christmas present, they opened it (just for a sample you understand) and spent the afternoon snoozing on the settee! My Rosehip (port and Burgundy) is crackin' . Trying beetroot (oldies are best) for the first time, keeping it out of the light as recommended. Hope you have a nasty mould free 2005. Cheers, Tony.
