Dorrie’s Golden Chardonnay

We just bottled yet another batch of our very own wine. We are becoming quite the vintners these days. This is our 2nd batch of our own wine productions that we have done all by ourselves; no help from the experts at all.

This time, we made a Chardonnay. All the pros at InVintions A Toast to InVINtions!, Video #17 – INVINtions, A Creative Winery, The Hallowine Party at InVINtions complimented us on the nice color and clarity of the wine. We bought a kit that contained everything we needed and followed the instructions, but we’ll take credit for our nice wine. 🙂

The whole process from start to finish took about 6 weeks. And now, it is all done, and bottled, ready top be enjoyed. We have been recycling our bottles and then we wash and sanitize them with the cleaner and sanitizer we bought specifically for making wines.

We tend to name our wines after our fur babies. This one is yet another line of our “Big Dog Wines”, and we named it after Dorrie, our beautiful English Cream Golden. We called it “Dorrie’s Golden Chardonnay”.

Each batch makes about 28 bottles of wine.

We have tried a little, but not much. So far, so good though. It is a cool, crisp Chardonnay with hints of green apple and citrus flavors. We like it.

Our first wine production project was our “Midnight Malbec”, Midnight Malbec featuring Nicky, our black panther.

Have a great day and make everyday great, especially with a little wine along the way. Stay safe and stay well. ‘Til next time.
