As some of you may know, I am a complete wine-o. I have been to many a wineries, worked at wine bar and even had a wine theme at my wedding! I started drinking wine around 16 years old from the ol' box o' wine my mother kept in the refrigerator. (Mom, you knew...come on now..) From there I was always willing and eager to try any type of wine that came my way.

After I turned 21 and was able to purchase my own bottles of wine instead of gathering a weeks supply of boxed wine in my fridge, and with that, my whole world opened up. The wonderful world of wine...The choices are endless and every one is a delight in it's own way.

Now with that, the only next step to take in my little wine world is to

make my own wine!

"Is it ready yet?"

So it has been about a week into my wine making adventures and the White Grape Raspberry has changed so much since my lost post. After I siphoned the wine I had to let it sit in the carboy which allowed the yeast to finish eating the sugar, die off and settle to the bottom. Everyday after the siphoning I took a picture. It's incredible how different my wine looks now from when I first started.

Its gross, but all that on the bottom is dead yeast!
