Racked 5 gallon of Chilean Malbec and Carmenere last night. Added more oak cubes to both. Heavy French to the Malbec and Medium + to the Carmenere. Both are progressing nicely.

Today had a much needed comp. day from work. Just so I could work on home projects! Painting our sunroom, run to Home Depot building radiator covers. Final cost of paint then I get to relax.

Yes Dan, I had performance points at work so rather than getting a gift card for the wife like I usually do I picked up this 1400 watt Induction cook top. Works well, now I don't need to go to the kitchen to heat up the juice to make my simple syrup when adjusting sugar levels.

 

[ffemt128]

Pitched the yeast on the juice that I picked up yesterday. Today I think I'll be taking my daughter and her friend to Living Treasures..

 

[Boatboy24]

Bottled the WS Super Tuscan. Kids are in school, but Mommy and Daddy are off. So I have a lunch date with my wife later.

 

[vernsgal]

Going to a Remberance Day service this morning then lots of labeling this afternoon

 

[Matty_Kay]

Off today so I racked 5 gallons of Chilean Zin. Added additional 1.5 oz. of heavy toast French oak cubes. Really digging the flavor profile heavy toast is adding to the Zinfandel.

Our church is holding a "parents night out" event. Normally my wife and I are there watching the youngsters, but this year we get to go out.

When we went to the Gettysburg Wine Festival in September we noticed that the Appalachian Brewing Co had an outlet at the Gateway Center where the wine event was held. Well, it's about 15 minutes due south of the church, so we're a going there for dinner and drinks.

Looking at the menu it looks like we have the choice of eight of their year round brews and at least six or so seasonal brews, depending on which fall brews are still on tap and which winter brews are ready.

Think we'll have to flip a coin when we get there to see who will be the designated driver...now where did that heads only coin get to?
