We Make Wine

Tiago and the boys made wine with Vovo this year - we all took turns throwing the grapes into the crusher - Tyler did not believe it was once done by foot.

Tyler helped mash the grapes down a bit more, now we wait a week or so until the skins and stems rise, then it's on to step two.

Stephen helped get the bottles ready - yes he did get his hands on the hose - yes Vovo did get soaked. My father in law makes great wine. But you really don't want to be there to see the process. Really.


This is what you get as your reward for making the wine. Nothing like freshly boiled octopus! Mmmmm! You know you want some.
