Wine Making and Gin Flavouring Workshop

It was fun to see at last the secret gardens of Rod who gave his lovely allotments and sheds to the local community after he died. Transition Northwich have taken it over now and they had a workshop on Saturday morning run by knowledable Mike telling us how to make wines from fruit. Also some sampling of his delicious damson and greengage wine and flavoured gin. We all got a bit tiddly and it became rather an al fresco party! Those jolly ladies who attended got jollier and jollier! It was a hands on workshop so two tubs of fresh wine were started and people were encouraged to get their hands messy , squilshing fruit and sloshing the sugar and water about. What fun! Some nice crackers and cheese for lunch and the promise of some wine in the future when it has brewed.
