I finally got around to kegging the Philly sour wine. I was going to bottle and cork it as usual.. but after having a quick taste on rack day, I decided this would be great carbonated.

I’d say moderately sour with good body. The Concord really played with the Blackberry nicely. 1.096 OG to 0.996 FG is what.. 13%?

Gonna give it a week or so of the gas and see how it feels. But right now is friggin great. Better tasting notes coming up soon.
