Champagne before dinner Ray. Pear (made from my daughter's pears) with dinner...Cornish hens stuffed with wild rice and all the fixings. After dinner a liqueur made from those little cherries off my wild cherry trees.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

A.J. how did the Peach Perfection come out. I made it when I first started making wine 25+ years ago and liked it. Then I made a batch 2 years ago and was disappointed.
Ray
The Peach perfection came out wonderful.. I have made it thrice from fresh North Georgia Peaches and it is wonderful each time.
