Various and Sundry
I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving. Terry and I smoked a beef roast, as we were alone and couldn't justify a turkey. We used the Butt Rub that APP smuggled back from 'Bama. It took a few hours and 3 bottles of wine but it was great. I am eating it for lunch and man all I can smell is smoke when I open my lunch. This probably is toxic so these may be my last posts.
Well I had a meeting in Harrow so..............I went to Sprucewood. The new Chardonnay is very nice and so is the Cabernet Franc. I will have real reviews soon, but they were very nice......the franc held up to the smoke too!!!!!!
Terry and I may cider on Saturday. As usual I was my conservative self and only ordered 11 bushells of fruit. The pears were very hard and made me redesign the press on the fly, but at least it worked. The apples went much better. Right now we have about 60l of cider so I'll keep you posted. I am still sore by the way.
As I am sick...again....I am not, reviewing any wine, but the Pelee Sauvignon Blanc I am having is certainly raising my spirits. Walter please continue this one....please.
So this weekend is Oktoberfest then I move next week. Yes, I am leaving "The University District" for Northridge. The sad thing is that I just don't get the Dairy Freeze which is about a quarter mile away. Well Eadie should be happy as I will be only 3 minutes from Mastronardi, which is a good thing and 5 from Aleksander, I guess I will survive.
I will be packing next week but I promise a review of some wine and Oktoberfest too!!!!!!
