My wife and I bottled our wine kit this morning:
They say you can drink it right away, but nobody believes that… we’ll give it a few weeks for good measure, and will get started on making a red soon. This is the first kit I’ve done in 15 years… the guy down at the wine-making store welcomed me back into the fold when I told him I was getting started again.
Finally got tired of the TV remote being missing for a year and a half (thank goodness for universal remotes). I flipped the couch over, listened to its contents shift inside, then made a surgical incision along its underside with a utility knife. I managed to extract the missing TV remote, a book, a dozen pens and pencils or so, a barbie doll, various kids toys targetted at infants and up, and a shoe. I’m glad I found the remote control so quickly, but I’m a bit scared of what I would find if I repeat the process with the matching chair and love seat.
Now you HAVE to! We all want to know what’s inside. It’s like a Kinder-couch!
Peace,
Jamie
I’m with Jamie … mostly because that shoe is bothering me. Where is the mate? How long was the shoe missing? There’s a great story there … we could write a children’s book about this shoe, get it published and make some money.
BroMay, wise move on letting the wine sit in the bottle for a few weeks b4 drinking. something we discovered after bottling our first vintage (04) was a phenomenon called “bottle shock.” a day after bottling, we opened a bottle – it was HORRIBLE. no fruit, totally out of balance. after a few weeks, the fruit and acid balance was back in total.
