Another Bottle Smash Bash!!

 Great Bottle Smash event, you should have been there if you weren't. Jane Ault from Abernethy was the best, breaking three bottle on the hallowed rock. Best man was Darren from Inverness in a toe nail biting playoff he got two and a dangler, sending his bitter rivals away sniffling into their cups. Next week we're away to the woods for the oak leaf picking and the start of the cairno wine making season. Berryup coming out soon. .My dear wife Judith may occasionally post if I'm on extended hangover. You can tell hers; she uses such words as 'crikey' and delish' and tells you what's happening whereas I talk a lot of Shinto Buddhism occasionally drifting into the vernacular.

Happy Xmas Abidy

Been very busy the last few months what with bottling fizzy while the weather was cold and heaps of orders fleein out the door. Last of the Red Currant wine and Cider are still fermenting in the hot box but should be finishing soon.
Bottled Magnums of Sparkling Elderflower and Sparkling Strawberry for the first time and they are looking great. Selling really well and should be up on website soon.
Only remains to wish every one a Happy Christmas and a Merry New Year. Berry Christmas this year is most enjoyable, Cheers!

January

Well it's back to al claes and porridge, straight into fizzy bottling, racking the cider and red currant wine, filtering elderflower and working on something new.

 Had a most excellent holiday with great wine orders, so thank you to everyone.

 Next date on the calendar is the Ploughed Field Sprint on Sunday 20th Jan and then Burn's Night, 
so now is the time to get in your bottles of Gangs wi Haggis.

 Cheers!

Happy Winter

The Cairn o Mohr cafe opens up for weekends from March the 9th for weekends and 5 days a week from Wednesday March the 27th. We'll need to think of some stunt to mark it's re-opening. Any suggestions? Rhubarb wine's meant to be coming out in Easter; whether she will or no is up to her, she does take an offy long time in the dressing room. We have some other interesting drinks in the pipe-line that are mostly secret at the moment. Happy winter!

Rhubarb out now, a lovely pinky yellow colour, looks and tastes yummy. See it in the online shop.
