Chokecherries to Wine

The wine we’ll share with Roseneath B&B guests 3 or 4 years from now is in the making today. Edgar picked the wild berries with his own special “cherry picker” only hours before the cedar waxwings arrived. Last year’s berries (now officially wine) are being bottled today, and we’re enjoying the 2004 harvest each evening with our guests.
