Natalie is explaining how we will bottle the fejoa wine.  That's it in the huge jug.  We filled 24 bottles.

  View from Natalie's kitchen.

  Suzan is sterilizing the bottles and Natalie is boiling the corks.

  I sterilize the last few.

   I stared the siphon, now Suzan siphons them into bottles and I am corking the bottles.

  Close up on corking.

   We swich about half way through so that we can both practice each task.

  I could not look away for fear of overflowing a bottle.

  All of the bottles have been corked.

  In the huge jug ours looked darker than Natalie's last batch.  So after we got them bottled we compared them...about the same in color.  Natalie has just designed her own labels.

  They are from a picture of this painting that she did.

  This is a painting Natalie did from a picture she and Murry took on their last vacation to the South Island.

  We had to do some tasting.  Since there was a little bit in the bottom of that hug jug, we tried some, but it was cloudy due to the last bit of stuff on the bottom.  We also tried a green ginger wine and a chocolate liquor.

  Washing the bottles after a break.  They should set in the bottles for a few months.

   Fun shot after all the work was done.  Natalie has offered to keep them in a box in her garage till they are ready.

  Very happy with our work.

  Another fun shot.
