Just a sign

[Sage]

My wine making neighbor and I have a regular joke thing going between us. Since I'm a half mile off of a road, I can get away with putting up most anything without public notice. I've had a sign on my vineyard for a couple years.

This weekend we're having our annual apple squeeze and this is what he'll be greeted by: (made it last night in 5 hrs for a joke!)

This is the other sign.

I can't see the joke, but I do like your signs. Nice job, Arne.

I can't see the joke, but I do like your signs. Nice job, Arne.

Neither of us are commercial nor intend to be. When I Planted more grapes in my vineyard and set up some new equipment he said he was going to put up a sign at the end of my driveway pointing up saying tasting room. The road is the only road to a ski area about 12 miles on up and you could imagine the traffic.... and what would be coming up my drive looking for a tasting room ! So, now I have a "tasting room". The sign will NOT be outside on a regular basis !!

I like it. Could have your door bell ringin off the wall. Arne.

I said I was going to do that and hang it on my wine shop front door.

My buddy and his wife came in laughing. The others did not know about the thing going on between us and never had a clue. He did sort of fill them in when he said he was going to make a sign for his driveway (right next to mine) with an arrow pointing to mine saying tasing room this way......

I have an advantage. My vineyard is almost 1/2 mile off the main road and you can see his from the road, 1/4 mile. You will also see his as you come up my drive and I have the usual private drive, no trespass signs up on my gate. Just put them up for hunting season as my drive looks like a poor county road and I do get some traffic until they see it's just to my house.
