September 9th, Part B

We have returned from the Spokane Interstate Fair. We have had our fill of fair food. Elephant ear, jumbo corn dog, wonder bar, greasy fair food, we had it all. Or at least a lot.

We often refer to our wines as award winners. The reason is because we have won ribbons at the fair. We had high hopes for our Zinfandel this year. Our hopes were dashed...but not completely. We got a second place ribbon. The Norby's (those Bastards!) are once again the Grand Champions.

I think I know why we didn't have the results we were hoping for. Our Zin had a lot of sediment that settled on the sides of the bottles. I don't think it effects the taste but it is aestectically unsettling. We are really happy with the taste, but the smelll is not what it could be.

On the bright side, our label won Grand Champion.
