Remember the verjus I started back in September? Well, it felt like the time was ripe to strain, filter and bottle it. Besides, I needed the gallon jar in which it was macerating.
The color is gorgeous, the bouquet is magical, and at the first wee sip I began - without hesitation - to recognize the medicinal and mystical extremes within this very tart, remarkably astringent, fragrantly potent and oddly delightful elixir. Now that it's bottled my hope is that the flavors will mellow over time like with my other more conventional cordials and liqueurs.
We shall see. We shall see.
That's what I made today. Peace.

The verjus looks great, I wonder do you make thing for bad coughs and chest infection. I have had both for 2 weeks and no letting up
Wow! What a change from Sept! It's a gorgeous color. I have just started a bottle of vanilla extract. Cheers for home brewing.

Happy New Year From Southern California.
Don't forget to watch the 122nd Rose Parade on New Year's Day coming from Pasadena, California...only 30 miles from The Old Geezer's home :-) If you miss the live telecast, I'm sure there will be lots of reruns through out the day.
