Getting Ready

We are spending the 3 day weekend getting ready for our big trip. Here is a map of where we are going.


We bottled our Pinot Gris today. We used a yeast similar to champagne yeast, so it is a little bit sparkling. For our first try, it's pretty darned good! In this picture is also our Syrah which we will bottle in October.


We also are going through the process of preparing our clothes for our trip by treating them with this lovely chemical called Promethean. Although toxic to people when applied and wet, once it's dry it's no longer toxic to people and animals, only to mosquito's, when they touch it they immediately die. Sounds like a good way to avoid malaria to me!
