Day 143: gewurztraminer

As you may recall from my last wine related post, the second batch was due, and the bottling commenced today. I got 26 bottles from this yield (so now when I say I'll send you a bottle, the prospect is a little more realistic). This is a batch of gewurztraminer, which pairs well with hot and spicy food, rich poultry dishes, munster cheese, and smoked salmon.

Now, some pics from the process:

the contraption used to put the cork on the bottle...

...which had only marginal success, at best.
