On October 15th, Nick and I had the pleasure of going to The Wine Bottega to bottle our barrel of Pinot Noir. This was my first experience making wine and I have to say, I am in love with this process.
Firstly, our wine turned out great! We chose a California Pinot Noir, and made a total of 29 bottles.
The first night we accompanied our first bottle (well.. 2 first bottles) with an antipasti platter filled with cheese, cured meat, olives and bread. YUM!
I highly recommend making your own wine, especially if you are like me and you enjoy a casual glass of wine with dinner, or after a long day, or on a Monday, because well, Mondays suck, and wine is great!

I can’t say I’ve ever drank wine. I hear its good and it relaxes you. But sounds like you and your boyfriend are having a blast. 🙂

Cool. Say, when you get a chance. Have a read at my new poem I posted. It will make you laugh. It’s pure humor in my most satirical weird way of seeing our pop culture and political propaganda.

Definitely worth trying! Such a fun experience and very good way of allowing myself to open a bottle every weekend without breaking the bank! 😊

Bright eyes dig up a question from generations ago:
You want to know why the wind blew us
Together, how our sons will grow, when we will
Meet again, where will we be as one again?
Training gives you the desire to examine cause and
Effect. Experiences about as wide apart as possible
Come at us, yet we harmonize, learn each other’s secrets,
Give what we know the other will love, provide
Sanctuary in a world spinning out of control for so
Many. This I offer to distinguish myself from regular
Men, be they handsome or young: a complete heart
With continued support, undying gratitude, massage
Therapy, attempts at cooking, quite a way with words.
I expect you to smile when we chat, remain a solid
Force, a muse for my art, the reason I will always
Yearn for more, forever the target of happy life,
Memories (plans?) and a fresh heart, made whole
By the time we spent sincerely swirled, sufficiently
Molded to continually receive jolts of good news,
Connected forever by this love, complex, alive, strong.
