They have already acquired extra land and started clearing for the vineyard. ‘Fox Estate Winery’ does have a ring to it…..When you building the wine cellar?
Will have a 12-15 bottle holder when we build the wall bar downstairs.When you building the wine cellar?
Nice!Will have a 120-150 bottle holder when we build the wall bar downstairs.
Yep, she's a wine club member at our local store. Kansas we still can't buy wine or hard liquor at the grocery store.Yup...local grocery stores stock wine...and you can hit some great 6-bottle discounts if you have a vintage that you particularly like.
We have a friend in his basement has a special built wine cellar. Holds 150-200 bottles.
fixedOur St. Patrick's Day Car Show is on Saturday. Oddly enough in the parking lot of the nearby Catholic parish . I seem to have developed a drinking problem. Can't drink my coffee without spilling alcohol in it!

Haha you know that's not us.Well you do have to keep up with the Jones you know!
That's a normal sample size. Couldn't do that too many times in a day.Speaking of that, Here is Dave Johnson pulling a sample. The sampling tube is called a thief. (like a wine thief)
Dave is in Kentucky picking barrels. He said 3 barrels in 2 distilleries. One of the guys picked out Star Hill Farms on the guys hat. That's Makers Mark.

A 1/2 oz or less for sampling. You might try a half dozen barrels before finding a exceptional one. (if you go to the distillery) The distilleries can send 3 samples to the sponsor store. That's what we did for the last 3 picks. You only get 3 choices though. If you don't like them the distillery has to send out more. Here's 3 bourbons and 3 ryes from Driftless Glen.That's a normal sample size. Couldn't do that too many times in a day.
We call it “Winter blend” up here!A little Irish Coffee should steady the hand.
Not yet. All I need is storage. It doesn't need to be kept cool necessarily.You build a whiskey cellar yet Mike?
