winemaking: and our flag was still there…

This page is not a recipe. It is a memorial — created two days after September 11, 2001, by Jack Keller, and left standing on his winemaking site for years afterward. It holds a photograph of the American flag, a poem left in a guestbook, and a quiet, plainspoken blessing for those who were lost and those who were left behind. Some things matter more than wine. Jack knew that. We think so too.

This page exists out of respect for the original and for the people it honors. No recipe is offered here because none was intended. Visit the rest of winemaking.io when you are ready.
