Looks like a heck of a lot of 375 ml icewine bottles. You have your afternoon full of fun and excitement.

 

[Runningwolf]

Everything is bottled and will probably label tomorrow or this weekend. Everything went fine up until I was wiping down the nozzle on the enolmatic and the spring I was hold slipped back down and broke of the nozzle. So a friend not too far away has one and I ran down to borrow his. Ok I come back home and the basement is smelling real good. Oh sh*t I didn't take the tube out of the carboy and it started a siphon. Lost 2-3 bottles of wine on the floor but it could of been a lot worse. After that all went well.

You've got to be one, tired, young man.

Pacifica White. I am more concerned about what the new nozel is going to cost me now. I'll check later. Got a chance to try the new mop and bucket I bought a few weeks ago at Sam's club. LOL

My filter has been soaking in oxy-clean. Got to go finish cleaning up.

 

[Wade E]

This is exactly why I bought the steel bottler, plastic breaks to easy. Glad it wasnt either of those 2 chocolate wines that you spent lots of time and money on!!!! Im sure the Pacifica is very nice also but no where near the amount of work and you probably have 6 gallons of that and only 3 of the others with the choc.

Gumbo is better today. Her swelling was down shortly after giving her the benydryl and gone compleetly this morning ...Thank Goodness!!!

 

[Runningwolf]

Nikki, I am glad it worked out. I know you were pretty stressed out over this.

LOL, last summer Bailey (our Beagle/Boston Terrier) ate a yellow jacket and yes we know this because the next day she went back to the nest and tried to eat another one. Anyway her whole face swelled up and Mike and I did not now about benadryl, we drove to one animal hospital about 10 miles from us that was closed so we started to go to another one that we knew was open but 30 miles from us, well we got 10 miles down the road and the swelling was already going down so we went home. But Holy Cow do these little darlings scare the daylights out of you. She is precious to us as well as Jesse our demon boxer

That baby is probably going to give you grey hair before your daughter does.

 

[ffemt128]

Yes dogs are definately part of the family. If you have kids you need benedryl and if you have pets you need it. Nikki, glad your pup is feeling better.

I had a glass of Muscadine with my neighbor. He offered to pay me for a bottle so he could give it to a friend of his who drinks very expensive wine. He said this was far better tasting than any $100.00 bottle of wine he sampled at his friends house.

Can't wait til Sept or Oct. Hopefully we will be able to head to NC and spend the weekend with Sirs...

Oh forgot to mention... I backsweetened our blueberry pomegranate today. Very good. I took it to 1.012. My wife said it could be a tad sweeter. This was started at 1.092 sg.

Heading to Columbus (OH) to visit our son for the weekend.

I will be doing my normal work of drafting this AM but will try to get out in the vineyard again this afternoon for pruning. I only have 2000 vines to go.......................................................... The snow is melting away and being replaced by shallow mud until the frost goes out of the ground- then good and dry. Shouldn't take more than a week or two for the frost to leave.
