sorry for not posting in a while. seriously haven't had much time off to really sit down at a computer. work in going good, things are really starting to pick up and seems like there isn't a second of down time. so much for 12 hour shifts! was at work the other day for about 16 and a half....starting at about 4 pm working till 8-9am , can't remember, really taking a toll on the crew, moral is a little down for us night crew, we work all night getting our work done and when the other crew arrives in the morning they ask about how the mess they left isn't cleaned up yet....whatever.
theres a few tanks of sauvy (sauv. blanc) fermenting to the winery smells great, very tropical fruit like and a few of the pinot noirs are finishing and always get a great strawberry candys aroma as you walk by the bins. also have a few riesliings in house now, but those are just cold soaking, we'll see in a few days if those are as nice....
starting to rain this morning just as we were getting off at 5:30 am and hasn't stopped, so we might have a hell of a week coming up, rain means a quick harvest and we have a couple hundred tons of riesling that might come in all at once.
don't really have time for a life outside of work...so no updates there, get off work, go home, have a beer or not, then sleep, get up, go to work, rince and repeat... at least today we got up a little early and hit up a little brew pub just down the road for a little brunch and some great beers, finally had a real beer, an IPA...have only been drinking the cheap stuff, which is the same as the cheap stuff back home... remember the shmitts brian? ya, that good!
take care all and miss ya!!!

I try to forget the Shmitts but it's impossible. I think I still have GI problems from that stuff.
Sorry you're working so hard. Did you get a chance to have a chocolate Easter egg this weekend? We dyed eggs at mom and dad's. We were down to 3 eggs and I dumped blue dye all over the table. I looked underneath and the brand new floor had blue dye everywhere. It looked like we sacrificed a large Smurf. Luckily we were able to wipe everything up and had NO stains - SWEET!
