Dessert from Summer's orchards,
peaches ripe and sweet.
Sunshine in a bottle,
brought up from Winter's sleep.
Started in a crock
at least a century old.
West Virginia heritage -
sometimes sweet, always bold.

My peach wine experiment was brought up out of its resting place this weekend, and I am much pleased. Definitely a dessert wine - very sweet - but very smooth with a warmth at the end. Ignoring it for several months smoothed all the initial harshness out. This is an experiment that will now have to repeated, although I need to lighten up on the sweetness.
