  1. The label from the very first rosé wine I made, with friend David Jordan, at Oregon State University.

    The grapes came from various vines in OSU's grape variety mother block, hence the "mélange" in the name. The "Sä-môn" was a reference to its orange colour...

    Label drawn by Catherine Hibbitt.

  2. The label from the very first wine I made, with friend David Jordan, at Oregon State University. Dave was studying for his PhD and I for my MS at the time. My very talented friend Catherine Hibbitt drew the label, which I went on to use for future vintages.

    The grapes came from a research block and was fermented in glass carboys.

    Great memories, and the wine was well regarded by all accounts...

  3. Racked the mulberry wine a bit ago.

    Current ABV is 17.5 percent.

    That's 35 proof for those of you keeping score. Who needs to distill?

  4. CW: Alcohol

    A successful afternoon of wine making: 1 demijohn of carrot from May safely in bottles and 1 bucket of carrot and 1 of parsnip moved off the lees into demijohns to finish fermenting for a few months.
