I made a Tuscan style red wine, and once bottled, had to drink the 2/3 of a bottle left over. WOW this is one dangerous wine! I am loving it. Even bottle shocked and not aged, its great. Not sure it the 27 bottles will make the 3 month stage, not to mention the 6 month stage! My best friend agrees, we are going to crack open another one. So in about an hour if all goes well drunkenness should ensue.
