  • Grapefest Do's and Don'ts

    I know it hasn't happened yet, but can I start a Do's and Don'ts section?

    DON'T agree to go and harvest elderberries from 8 acres of fields the day before you set off. However long you think it will take, it will actually take at least twice as long.

    DON'T fret about EXACTLY what grape selection you have made - it'll be fine.

    DO relax and enjoy it

    Do bring old clothes for grape processing (although with the new electric crusher, it wont be as messy)

          Do bring plenty of good wine to drink.

          Don't expect the swear filter to be working.

            DO take lots of pictures for those that cant attend
            Insecure people try to make you feel smaller.

            Confident people love to see you walk taller

                      Do NOT turn the pump off (when syphoning uphill) to answer the phone, 'cos it will turn into a syphon (downhill) and empty more beloved Merlot all over the floor!!

                          No worries - i sterilzed the mop before I started. So as not to contaminate the refermentation.
