Make It and Love It

Drew made his first batch of wine over the weekend, a long time dream finally realized. Such an interesting process, like the oak wood sawdust that he added to this mixture. 

Here, the fermentation bucket is being kept warm by the sweater that my grandmother made for him. She could never believe that his arms and torso were as long as they are, so even after lengthening it once, the sweater is unfortunately still too short by a couple of inches. And not to be outdone, I made cranberry liqueur: I"ll get to drink mine at Christmas, whereas we have to wait until Easter to taste Drew's.
