[Hokapsig]

after a weekend of golfing with my fraternity brothers, I was able to meet some very nice folks from Olivero Vineyard who let me stop over and help to bottle thier tasty Merlot.

I alos stopped at another winery on the way home to get some ideas for Bushy Run Winery.

Bottled 8 cases (19 1/2 gallons) of Chambourcin, 5 cases (9 gallons) of a Norton(66%) - Chambourcin (33%) blend. Then racked 8 gallons of blackberry port, 12 gallons of pear, 12 gallons of apple, and 7 gallons of cherry wine. My wife and I are both exhausted. Not planning on doing any wine work for at least the next week.

I completed a bunch of chemistry today. Chromatography on a MLF., several sulfite measurements with a Vinometric meter, several total acidity and pH measurements. I racked my Amarone and the Shiraz/cab blend. Then I went out and bought several glass carboys that I desperately needed. Now I am drinking a glass of Cline Syrah. Quite tasty. It was an absolutely beautiful crisp day in Baltimore today.

Vineyard marked for next week's Frontenac planting. And the veggie garden is all tilled and ready for planting.

It was a busy weekend. Friday was our 16th wedding anniversary. We had intended to do landscaping which turned more into looking at various plants at 2 different places. I did pick up a load of manure for the garden. Went to Saga for a wonderful dinner with my lovely wife. Saturday we picked up plants and paint samples since I can't seem to get anyone to give me an estimate to paint my house. 6 people have came out to look, 2 returned estimates that were higher than I want and 2 have not even bothered to come look. I don't want to hear from any contractor that you have no work. We went to a picninc on Saturday and ended up spending the night. Did alot of shooting at the picnic. Sunday we spent the day landscaping and spreading mulch. I'm ready to relax. Only have 3 days in the office this week.

Happy Anniversaries, John and Jim!

I am awaiting the delivery of a 20-yard rolloff dumpster, so I can begin a massive project!

 

[plowboy]

Started planting today. That means bagged lunch. I took my game to a new level this year. Cooking on the motor takes far too long but warming stuff up always works. So now I have myself a hobo lunch.

Noting better than a hot meal on a cool day. Beats the hell out of soggy sandwiches too.

 

[heatherd]

Right now, working in DC.

But tonight, I will be tending to my double batch of Chilean Cabernet Sauvigon by squeezing the grape bags and adding oak chips. I am also planning to sample the Barolo I bottled several months ago.
