Time to work on the label.... really.
I drove down the mountain with my daughter, Darci, for another day at the custom crush facility. We are getting closer and closer to the finished Vin de Noix. Today we made some additions, including Clary Ranch Syrah and I am pleased. It feels like my kitchen counter escapades, but with a much bigger jar! Afterwards, I took my brother, Paul Clary, out to lunch for his birthday. Went to the Ace in the Hole Pub in Graton, which is outside Sebastopol. Paul has now joined me in the 5th decade of life. We had a nice visit. Time to work on the label.....

Testing and Tasting
We checked on our walnuts wallowing in wine. Inhaling the aroma as we opened the container was exciting. A taste, even more exciting. We made plans for the final additions and will return next week.
Paul and I did calculations and careful measurements followed by repeated tastings. We have come up with our final numbers. We will return on Wednesday to finish up the process!
