I got a 5 gallon carboy back from a friend yesterday if that counts. I bought enough toys this year and things are tight again so nothing for awhile.

The lab is closed between Xmas and New Years so we always have a nice "forced" break that we usually spend eating (of course) doing puzzles, playing board games and watching movies .

I am going to transfer my Red Mountain Cab out of Primary today, clean it up and start on my Xmas Whites.

I also started rearranging stuff in the winery and today will probably remove a large book shelf and bring in my 320 bottle Cedar Wine rack that I snagged a few months ago. I don't have a big enough open corner to put it in unfortunately so I will rearrange the pieces and do the corner then the (2) flat pieces and attach to the wall for stability.

We had a wonderful dinner yesterday. The weather was to die for nice (sunny and warm) so I decided to cook the Roast Beast on the smoker pit with Pecan wood. OMG it was spectacular. Opened a few bottles of commercial stuff as well as a bottle of my 18mo old Red Mountain Cab.

No big wine toys but Santa may bring me a crusher/destemmer and or press next Fall if I am a good boy so trying hard already!

I did't get anything for wine making, but we did get a White Christmas, which is very unusual for us. In fact, it's still snowing this morning.

Received a brew belt, the last one only lasted 1 year. Had a great time with family and plowing snow too!
