To Repeat

lol, drink it mostly...

My wine club has several large "socials" every year, next one this weekend at WindWalker Vineyard ("

" did their website also)in Fair Play, Ca . I do the website for our wine club and take the pictures, will have them posted next week. So I take several bottles to the "Socials", give some wine to friends, neighbors and family. Also, use the "would you like to see my wine cellar with women". Of course, it is important they taste several different wines straight from the barrel/carboys and then we eventually become more than friends. But mostly drink too much wine.

I also am amazed at some of our wine club members who make several hundred gallons of wine every year. I have asked them the same question, what do you do with all this wine? Same answer as me, go figure, they must give away lot more than me.

It is a lot of hard work during harvest season, I hate picking grapes. But it is nice to be able to have a nice wine every night. My liver is probably some what toasted at this point, but unlike some people, I have no plans to live forever, lol

By the way, pressed out 20 gallons of that Barbera that was fermenting a couple weeks ago. It is tasting great which is amazing for a newly fermented Barbera which is notoriously high in acid. I am going to get some Zin and Cab and call it quits for the season. I should have about hundred gallons by the time it is all over. 5 bottles per gallon should give me about 500 bottles which will be plenty for the upcoming year.

this point, but unlike some people, I have

I only picked 400 pounds of Barbera as it was from a small home vineyard and it was free. From the results right now, wish I could have picked twice that amount.
