We did this yesterday and it continues today until 4. Fun! You taste 2 wines made just for this event (Recession Red blend and a Zin)....then decide which one you like best and find that barrel. We bottled the Zin, actually putting the wine in the bottle, then the cork machine, then the foil machine and last, labeling. The label says "hand bottled by" and you can write your name or whatever. Then, because it's the winery's open house there are free appetizers and live music. Grab a bottle of wine (well, you have to pay for it -- but tasting's free) and sit out on the patio. The misters are going so it's cool...sip wine and hang out. There were 7 of us from the neighborhood, having a great time!

I had my tennis-ball-obsessed Golden at Lost Mine Lake yesterday for the cleanup. He was happy to have me throw the ball into the lake so he could swim back to me and drop the ball and do it again..and again..Jackson was so tired when we got home he went right to sleep! No such luck for me...lots to do. Oh, there is a family of Canadian Geese on the lake -- a mom and four little ones. Lake caretaker Gary says there were six little ones, but....? Mother Nature can be cruel sometimes.

Sargeant Funky (rock 'n' roll band) will be playing on Memorial Day at John and Sandra's Lake House! There will be volleyball, many kayaks, boats, canoes, and BBQ grilling with a backdrop of music! I have friends coming in from Bainbridge Island and Orange County for this party and to hear the infamous Funkies! Let me know if you want an invite.
