With the onset of the pandemic a few years ago, sheltering in place drove many to resurrect old hobbies or discover new ones including Aurora residents Tom and Susan Voigt, who elected to partially use the large raspberry crop in their back yard for something besides jam.
Tom Voigt, 83, said the couple’s garden, which today includes tomatoes, beans, eggplant, carrots, Swiss chard, peppers, various herbs and more, began 45 years ago in raised beds that are now in newly-enclosed gardening structures that were completed last year.But the real story is the mass of raspberry bushes that line the north side of the back yard which sparked an idea two years ago.
He describes the wine “as not sweet, but mildly tart with a raspberry aftertaste” that he says is served exclusively with “cheese and crackers” versus a more involved food pairing. She admits that using her own berries for the “six or seven flavors of jam” she makes trumps using them for wine.
