Mason Jars?

Even better, you can probably make a deal with the bars to hold wine bottles for you, or fill up a case every other week, or whatever rate would match your wine output. They'd probaby be happy not to throw it out. Don't know how much corked wine is consumed there (as opposed to screw-caps,or other spirits, both of which are not made to take a cork).

Then, you could mail order corks, and perhaps a hand corker, both of which are light enough to carry horseback.

Good luck. Sounds like you're in a beautiful place.

I had the same idea, but it exposes the wine to too much oxygen, and pouring out of a full Mason jar is a b*tch! Bob

Ixnay on the oonshinemay! Running a still is a good way to get your ranch confiscated by revenuers! They =will= take it, be sure of that.

I got all my bottles from the recycling center here on the island. I just soak them in a tub of hot water and bleach. Bob

That is a great idea. I can ask a bar or two if they would at least put the bottles in a pile some where outside instead of throwing them into the trash so that I need not dig for them.

I saw a web site that has the stuff I can use, and they will have it delivered to the trading post at the chapter house (where most folks on the Rez have packages delivered). I see in the weather forecast that it will be more than a week before the current rain moves on. Argh! The dirt road out of there is a sucking pit of red clay.

Folks around here still go into town with pistols and rifles, and I have heard some folks even run stills in the canyons and hills (not that I would know anything about that).

Ah ain't got no knowedge of any such things. To tell the truth, if I knew of any still on the Res I would see to it that it was destroyed: folks around here got enough trouble without that s*it.
