WINTER PROJECT

While the two of us sit in our very toasty home, occasionally look out the windows and wonder if our vines are as hardy as we were told. While our outdoors thermometer was reading only a minus 12 degrees, the surrounding communities had a whopping minus 21 degree's. What may be to our advantage is that we on top of a ridge, that some how keeps us a tad warmer. We will see come spring, just how hardy our vines really are. In the mean time, Terry is very busy with his basement project of building a wine cellar and a place to make our own wine. The big plan is to let four or five plants of each variety, produce fruit so he can start experimenting on wine from our grapes. The wine cellar room has turned out very nicely. Now comes the room with a sink and the room to hold the containers for fermentation, store the carboys, and finally the the bottling. Most items for the remodeling are coming from the local hardware store which boast of being the "savings place". Hmm. But anyway, I have the easy part of just keeping up the blog, Terry is doing the actual work in the basement. Nice job Doc, looks nice so far!
