Wine Day

Today we bottled 18 gallons of wine from the 2012 grapes. It will sit for a year before it is ready to drink. I love the color. The flavor varies with the kind of grapes and the yeast used in the fermentation process.

The farmer attended a seminar on the high tunnel greenhouse he has in the garden. The frame went up last fall, and the plastic cover will go on this week if the wind and weather cooperate. It will extend the growing season, make it easier to weed and water, and hopefully keep out the deer. If we grow extra, we can sell it at the farmer's market on Wednesday nights. I'll still keep my day job for now.
