Time for Wine

Harvest time turns into fruit pressing time that turns juice, water and sugar into wine! This was a great year for the grapes. We beat the crows and other birds and were able to harvest about 400 lbs of grapes. Naturally grapes are best for wine... So now there is about maybe 60 gallons of wine fermenting. My den (laboratory) has turned into winery. Smells like it too. Can't wait for the first taste from this batch. The first fermenting we made from some of the white grapes was outstanding. All gone. (There were only 2 gallons! Don't worry.
Grandson Brennon and Matt came to visit over the weekend. Brennon got a taste of calf wresting. We put a halter on Sirloin for the first time and what a wrangle. Luckily it was easy to get him in the pen and we were able to have an easier time. Then it was off to learn how to drive the tractor. Reaching the pedals is a requirement and Brennon is just there. From the smiles I think he had a good time.
Well the sun is up and its time to think about getting ready to go let animals out. Looks cold out there. Fog hanging in the valley.
Take care, stay safe till next time.
Greg and Maureen

Welcome back Maureen!
Do you know the name of your grapes? My daughter wants to plant some next year and I thought your grapes looked awesome!
