Critter Wines took a trip to a festival, small world, and of course took some bottles along. Friends were eagerly waiting for some pineapple wine. This was a good thing because me and the better half talked for some time about what wine to take over to their van to share; our favourite (tanglefoot) or something else. So when they requested pineapple we could hang onto the tanglefoot! So we took pineapple and also pomegranate.
On the last night we took a couple of bottles to our "neighbours" campfire, pomegranate and also the tanglefoot. Bothe went down well, one preferring the pomegranate, two preferring the tanglefoot. And we hung onto the orange & elderflower which we enjoyed on a chilly night.
All in all critter wines thoroughly enjoyed the sharing and the positive feedback, and especially when folks expressed a preference so definitely.
Tanglefoot sounds intreging - what is it? Presumably a plant of some kind? Why such a good flavour - sweet or dry, fruity?
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, sorry it took so long to reply, i'm new at blogging and only just found your comment!
ReplyDeleteTanglefoot is parsnip wine. I believe the name comes from somewhere in the South of England, tho i'm not sure of the county.
It's a dry wine, well my version is anyway! The recipe is here

so you'll see all the ingredients (parsnips, ginger, lemon, etc) and quantities and method.
I hope this answers your question and i'll try to be more punctual with a response next time
