Back in 1994, while youngest son was just a bump. Self, and the bump carrier, picked loads of elderberries, which ended up as 5 gal elderberry wine, and 1 gal elderberry port.

Have just been bottling the last aged gallon!

One bottle will be part of son's 30th birthday present.
Last bottling was when he was 21.
