McDonald's for Breakfast and to read the paper, came home and did clean up and Damn everyone else is sill in bed. Unfortunately several folks couldn't make it due to previous engagements and family emergencies. At 9:00am me daughters boyfriend from Penn State area did a surprise visit. pretty cool as he has never traveled out on his own before so the three hour drive was an experience for him. Nice kid but dang it why didn't he get here earlier when we were dragging all the tables and chairs up from the basement. Guess what his *** is doing as soon as he wakes up?
All in all great party lots of wine and food. Several wine makers from the area showed up and could talk your ear off for ever. One guy I talked about before who I said has probably close to a thousand cases in his basement and probably 75 full carboys was quiet please to meet others in the area including Rod who traveled several hours to get here. I believe Rod is going over to Bill's house this morning to buy some carboys before heading back home. Bill is trying to down size a bit and s selling 5 gallon carboys 3/$50.00.
Sorry no pictures. I went down in the basement at one point about 5:00 and came back out and the sun was down. Dang two hours down there with a steady flow of people coming down for tour and Some special tasting for just the wine makers. The party was outside and in the garage.
The folks holding the next wine competition which is in the heart of the Lake Erie wine country were in attendance and tasted my Ice wine. Their first comment was we're glad were not entering this class. This stuff could be best of show!
