Jeremiah was a Bullfrog

Homemade wine. Made from our own grown, fresh, organic fruit. No sulfites. We have made a lot of loquat wine, so recently thought we would try blueberries.

It takes about 3 weeks for the sugar to get gobbled up by the yeast. We were shooting for a very dry but full-bodied wine. Cabernet. So far so good. It’s 3 weeks old, and we’ll let it age another 6 weeks…maybe.

Jeremiah was a bullfrog,

was a good friend of mine.

I never understood a single word he said,

but I helped him drink his wine.

(And he always had some mighty fine wine.)

Lyrics from “Joy to the World” by Hoyt Axton; performed by Three Dog Night”; released February 1971
