John Deere and Jimmy Buffett

Posted by on Jul 24, 2011

On July 4th, after the fireworks show, we wandered down to the end of Wapato Point in Manson to hang with some of our best wine stooges, Peggy and Steve. This is when I learned of Steve’s John Deere fanaticism (among his other fanaticism for Jimmy Buffett). He grew up in John Deere land North Dakota on an alfalfa farm. We bonded. I’m not sure if this means I too will become a Jimmy Buffet fan. What is it, Margaritaville? We’re located at the entrance to Wapato Point, so Peggy and Steve often cruise down to The Blending Room in their golf cart. They make me laugh so hard....

I still found time to dream of the Free Hat that could be mine, if I purchased that John Deere sewing machine of a lawn mower. Too bad I was on a budget. I John...

Winter Barrel Work

Posted by on Mar 16, 2011

Just when we thought it was spring in Manson, we got two weeks of snowy weather here at The Blending Room. We have wine to rack soon, so the weather didn’t stop us from doing some barrel cleaning out in the snow. Racking helps clarify the wine by pulling the clean wine off the top while leaving the solid lees behind in the barrel. Longtime wino, Evan, came over from Chicago for a visit and we convinced him to help for a day in the cellar. Evan assisted us with barrel washing, rinsing, scrubbing, moving and sulfuring just like a pro cellar rat. It’s a great help to have an...
