#45 – Apricot
Bottled (12) 750ml and (24) 375ml (from 5 gallons) at 14% ABV on 22 November 2014. One of these days I’ll learn to review my wines sooner rather than later… It usually takes a while to post these reviews (sometimes a very long while) …

#44 – Garlic IV
Bottled (11) 750ml and (26) 376ml (from 5 gallons) at 14½% ABV on 17 October 2014. This is the culmination of several (failed) batches to see exactly how far I could push the garlic… Unfortunately, there seems to be a …
#43 – Mango
Bottled (33) 375ml and (6) 750ml (from 5 gallons) at 15½% ABV on 3 July 2014. Tried a different source of mangos than what I used for #7 and #19 — although they were more yellow than orange, I believe this …
#42 – Blueberry
Bottled (24) 375ml and (12) 750ml (from 5 gallons) at 13% ABV on 18 May 2014. I’ve slowed down my home winemaking production in 2014, mostly to focus on getting Buchholz Cellars, LLC operational. As such, it took until May to bottle …
#40 – Pumpkin
Bottled (18) 375ml and (8) 750ml (from 5 gallons) at 15% ABV on 18 January 2014. It was that time of year when everyone was eagerly awaiting this year’s releases of the various pumpkin-flavored ales… Why not actually ferment the …
#37 – Strawberry
Bottled (21) 375ml and (12) 750ml (from 5 gallons) at 18% ABV on 8 December 2013. At last a worthy successor to #1 Strawberry, after the meh #9 and disappointing #10! I think the lessons I’ve learned over the past 4 …
#39 – Elderberry Pomegranate
Bottled (24) 375ml and (12) 750ml (from 5 gallons) at 15% ABV on 19 November 2013. The #24 Elderberry Pomegranate was so good, that I was compelled to make more. But this time, it wasn’t just about what to do with …
#36 – B.R.B. (Black-/Rasp-/Blue-berry)
Bottled (25) 375ml and (12) 750ml (from 5 gallons) at 15% ABV on 26 October 2013. Unlike #18 B.R.B., its successor is not frizzante… It does, however, maintain its predecessor’s color, nose, and multi-balanced-berry flavor! Bubbles or not, this is …
#35 – Pineapple
Bottled (29) 375ml and (9) 750ml (from 5 gallons) at 12% ABV on 30.June.2013. Another sparkling wine! This one wasn’t a surprise — after finishing to taste at 11%, I noticed that it had started bubbling again. (Lower alcohol + …
#34 – Marionberry
Bottled (28) 375ml and (10) 750ml (from 5 gallons) at 13% ABV on 23.June.2013. This, my third batch of marionberry wine turned out very well and is a favorite of my “beta testers”… In many ways it’s very much like …
