We gathered in the kitchen for the ritual uncorking.
Vlad’s wine tasting parties always intrigued me.
Colour a deep-vein red, bouquet lush.
Vlad raised his glass:
“To vino di sangue! This bottle has been in my family for centuries.”
I let the rim of the glass brush my lips . . . (277)

My Dad forgot about he had tea wine fermenting in the roof. Several years later he bottled it and in 1985 gave me a bottle. I never opened it until one of my foster boys wanted a one-on-one chat, so over the best sherry I have ever tasted and a pack of cards, we chatted. The label was dated 1973.

Wow! Wonderful story. Never heard of fermented tea wine before, but does sound like just the thing to have with those one-on-one chats.
My mother, her friends and I tried, unsuccessfully, several times to make dandelion wine. I was the one digging and cleaning the dandelions.

Dad made wine from just about anything he could grow. Most of it was lively, but some…………. a bit stinky, so pegs were optional!!
