I was considering making wine as a gift for my sister's wedding in June. I know she likes blends such as pink or rose wines, so I'm not sure if this will work, but I figured I'd pick your brains.
My plan is to make roughly 5-6 bottles (or more if the style I land upon is likely to successfully age well longer) and write messages intended for each sequential year of their marriage, so that they can open the bottles on their anniversaries.
I know this is a really tall order and complex plan, so I'm going to try to call upon a few experienced winemakers I know.
Still, if you have any advice for styles that are not dry that would work well for this, I'd appreciate it.
If you have any criticisms with this idea, let me know that as well. I'm aware it can be difficult to gauge how well a wine will age until it is made, so I'm taking a huge risk here.
