I am about 50 miles from Walkers so its only an hour drive making it worth while. Today I am rinsing out bottles. We had a wine fest a week ago and I was able to pick up 28 cases of bottles for 2 bucks a case. Rinsing them out today and seperating by color. I will remove labels and clean as I need them. Getting the bottles from this one paticular winery the labels are not real awful to try and remove like some are. :b
Exactly how do you remove the labels?
 
Missed a turn on what was supposed to be a 6 mile run this morning. Ended up being a 6.5 mile run, plus a 1+ mile walk. Labeled and foiled 4.5 cases of 2016 Zinfandel-based blend. After lunch and a short nap, I did some tidying in the winery and racked 11 gallons of 2018 Carmenere/Petite Verdot blend from Chile. It has been absolutely pouring all afternoon - the sump pump is running and it NEVER runs. Our deck is in the process of being refurbished, so we have a lot of lumber in the back yard. Think I'll go out and build an ark...

Goodness. I can guess you're having fun. But how do you get through all this lot. I am mpressed by your 'work in progress'. Few could claim to have this level of manufacture
 
Headed out to watch the minor league Potomac Nationals. After the game: fireworks, then we get to camp in the outfield!! :db
 
Marking rows for next years planting so that I can start the soil preparation process. I like to be ready come spring and it gives time for any soil amendments to 'equalize' any soil shortcomings. Plus the weeds/grass has to go.
