Aloha Sisters, wherever you might be visiting from! We would love to know you've been here! Leave us a comment and tell us where you're from, please!
For this month's social we all ventured up into the Waianae Mountains to Sue's house, nestled away in Makakilo. We were all treated to a wine tasting and demonstration of the wine making and bottling process. And it was interactive, Yay!
First Sue gave us a brief history of wine, and a few comments about the benefits of wine.
Did you know that moderate wine consumption is good for your heart? Yay! It also decreases the formation of kidney stones and lowers "Bad" cholesterol. Wine is also said to increase longevity, so enjoy a glass of wine with your dinner and toast to your health!
We each were able to sample a selection of Sue's homemade wines, ranging from white to red.
Then we were all able to pitch in and help start a new batch, which we will sample in 6-8 weeks... stay tunned for the verdict!
We then helped bottle up a batch started by Sue and Susie some weeks beforehand.
After a quick how-to, we jumped in on the bottling process.
And of course every bottle needed corking!
This turned out to be the hardest part, only the brave few tried it out.
It was a delightful afternoon of tasty wine and snacks with fellowship and learning sprinkled in as well.
We are all looking forward to our next meeting which we will be able to pin the rest of our sisters in this founding chapter!
Aloha and mahalo to you all for stopping by! Again, please leave us a comment to let us know you were here!
We are thy Sisters!
