2010 White Wine Bottling Day

We bottled two carboys of white wine today.  What a project!  First we sterilized 50 bottles and set them to drain in the dishwasher.  Then we siphoned the wine from the carboy into the bottles.  Soak the corks and then cork. Next, rinse off all the bottles and let them dry, then print the labels.  I will put the shrinkwrap on the bottles tomorrow and then we can move them to the wine cellar!  It took about four hours from start to the last cork and then clean-up time.  The Elderberry Blossom Wine is a sweet wine, which I do not really like, but it was an experiment this year.  The White Wine is a nice wine although not as good as last year's white.  The red wines are still cooking so I am hoping that they will all turn out to be tasty!
