Our hard cider had matured the same week our new pinot grigio was bottled, so that meant … Taste Testing!!! 😀 And, that means having good friends join us for their opinion… cuz it’s not near as much fun without friends around! 😀
First up … Winter Blues Hard Cider! … complete with a cheese board!

Then it was on to the pinot grigio … we’ve kept some bottles from the first pinot grig kit to see how it ages, and how it compares to a brand new batch.
So, we compared Flat Garden Pinot Grigio, bottled ~9 months ago in late August to our brand new Charlie’s Pinot Grigio, bottled a couple days ago.

A blind taste test was in order …

Flat Garden was a deeper colour, and had a deeper flavour. Charlie’s was milder. We were a mixed crowd when it came to which tasted “better”!
Taste Testing Thursday was a hit! We’ll be doing it again soon!
