Sunday Fun Day Wine Day

I am still recovering from Ablation surgery earlier in the week. However, I'm mostly fine. Just not a lot of stamina.

We kind of coasted all weekend and then really got busy as Sunday came to a close.

Our neighborhood committee sponsors a concert in the park every summer and last night was it. The concert was in Emerson Park which is a five minute drive from here. The band was Buffalo Jones and we enjoyed their music very much.

Afterwards, we repaired to the Hub Tavern and had a nice time with a couple of other neighbors who were at the concert. We stayed a lot longer than we planned which was a problem because we really wanted to get our wine bottled.

Fortunately, bottling 8 gallons of wine doesn't take too long once all the prep work is finished. I did most of that earlier in the day so we were ready to go.

We bottled 29 bottles of Sangiovese that we started last fall. We had enough juice left over to start another smaller batch. We blended in the grapes we grow here in the yard...concord and gewurztraminer. We managed to get 14 bottles out of that batch and we actually enjoy the blended wine better than the Sangiovese.
