WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH AARON CLIMBING ALL THESE TREES?
BOTTLING WINE
Before we go any further, we MUST mention this: Holly's stepfather invented Gumby. Yes, you read right...Gumby! In fact, Holly was the voice of Gumby's sister on two episodes of the show. It's great, there is Gumby memorabilia everywhere: Gumby on the mantle over the fireplace, Gumby t-shirts, and even Gumby & Pokey salt and pepper shakers.
Today was the best day at Le Vin, as it was bottling day. The past few days it's been nice to learn more about the winery functions and learn to top and such, but bottling is the ultimate payoff. Pruning, suckering, and topping are all critical elements to successful winemaking, but day after day those jobs become somewhat repetitive. The payoff is so far down the line that those acts can almost seem trivial...but they are far from it. With bottling, there is instant gratification.
**Andy, unfortunately you won't find Le Vin wine kicking around the NY area...it is sold mostly locally. Even locally, most of this wine isn't sold anywhere beside the Le Vin tasting room. If we find out they sell near you, we'll let you know.
**Sadly blogger doesn't have the capacity to upload songs (we're working on a way to get around this)...AND, no recordings were done of the garage band. Sorry!
**As for purple asparagus, they are good...but at Clover Creek they were all green. Quite tasty nonetheless.
really cool!!
