Beautiful Fall Weekend

  It was time to get our wine bottled up, so we drove over to Duluth last night after work. The drive over was beautiful – picture worthy.

The fall colors are one of the things I missed a lot when we lived in Alaska. The tundra turned a few different shades, but I’d nearly forgotten how vivid this season is displayed amongst the Maples and Oaks!

We headed to the Olive Garden for a tasty little dinner before heading downtown to our hotel. This morning came early after a restless, sore-throat ridden sleep. Luckily, the wine bottling process was fun – definitely made the trip worth it.

We got to try a sample of our wine, though it needs to age until about January. The place has a magnetic holder that lines up all the tanins in the wine… it simulates the aging process by about 2 months. We tasted the untouched wine and then the stuff that had been on the “cheater”. You could totally tell the difference – I think we’ve got a good batch!
