.....BREAKING NEWS from Sandyland Vineyard............

Secondary Fermentation has begun....

Cellar hands John and Scott (and Diane) completed the primary fermentation on Saturday and have transferred the juice into a 5 gal carboy to begin the secondary fermentation. This step could take weeks so don't get tooooo excited, we are a long way to a finished product.(The date on Scott's camera is incorrect so don't get confused, you didn't lose a month.)

The dining room is almost finished! The walls are painted City Rink, the ceiling is Timeless Ivory and the trim is Extra White. The crown moulding and the white blinds are not up yet. Soon, I hope. Kelly have moved on to the living room and everything is really a mess. Leon has a chair, the remote and the TV can be uncovered for his marathon WFN viewing, everything else is draped in plastic. I am in the process of getting the screens replaced on the living room storm windows and then getting the windows washed. There are 7 windows in the living room alone ! Any volunteers?

The concrete forms for the front porch will be built this week and then the concrete poured. You have to jump off the porch to get down. Titus is visiting this week so visitors have to scale the front porch to get in. The 80 year old railing is at Kingfisher Kookers getting sandblasted and powdered baked. Still a lot to do to get everything back in it's place. Maybe by Thanksgiving?
