Bottling - Spent about 3 hours bottling Robbie's Run this past Saturday. I did not use any chemicals to finish the wine - let nature take its course. This means there might be a little sediment in the bottom of some of the bottles. From about 12 gallons of wine I pulled off 61 bottles. A little darker than a Rose but with the distintive taste of Muscadines. Not overly sweet or overly dry. It comes close to a Rose Piesporter. I used the new nylon corks that have the spiral wrap on them. I soon saw that I would need a rubber mallet to put the corks in place. Time will tell now. I did it all in the bathtub in the big bathroom. The bottles are now (temporarily) stored in the bathtub.
