Oh man, memories. One of my favorites as a kid. I had this insane antipathy to onions for some reason. My mom sucker punched me by using french-fried/dried onions in her divan, and I'd eat "whatever those things are" by the bucketful. Looks wonderful!

I know right now the biggest problem I'm going to have: patience. I've been such a committed brewer for so many years, that sitting on bottles while they do their slow, gracious thing....is going to be tough!!! My two main loves are pinot noir, which I hope to oak, and Riesling, which I'll...
