A Good Weekend

So it's been a bit quiet here eh! That's cos Critter Wines hit the road to say hi to some friends and meet some more. Of course we went with wine so here's a little summary of how it went down, and what went down. There were 6 of us.

Elderberry & Blackberry (2nd run)
This wine got the popular vote to be opened first. And it went down well, probably the 2nd favourite on the night. The fullest feedback was that it was very smooth and had little tannin or acid compared to a commercial red. That made it quite dangerous as it was very easy to drink, almost like alcoholic fruit juice!

Quickie Elderflower
The preferred choice of 2 friends, and form favourite of one who only tried a couple of others but was otherwise happy to enjoy this one for the whole night.

Orange & Hawthorn Blossom
This is the sweet strong dessert wine. Made from blending the Hawthorn Blossom and the Orange wine. It was the surprise favourite on the night. Raising some eyebrows, and compared to a liquer
