ah....fall the perfect time to-zzzzzzzz....


just monkeying around in the ol' bedroom.

We harvested the last of our Jonagolds. They are HUGE. It's impossible to describe how big they are -- not unusual to be 2 lbs! Here is a random photo of my new car too. Sorry it took so long.

Here is the giant lobster mushroom we found on our last expedition. I tried to take some photos to show it's relative size. It was HUGE! It was ok, not yummy enough to bother with again probably.

Phase II -- the pressing. The 350 lbs pressed down to 18.8 gallons. It's still fermenting a bit and will then get bottled and sit around for awhile -- a couple years I think. Notice the quality control . . . . : )

Oh yeah, it's a Syrah.

Here are the grapes we started with -- 350 lbs. We sat outside for almost 5 hours de-stemming and separating out the over-ripe ones. I'll put up the pressing pictures next . . . .
