No snow here yet. It's 30 degrees and blue skies. So far I have not had to fire up the snow blower. I just finished bottling 22 bottles of red raspberry.

Bottled 5 gallons each (26+ bottles each) of Winery Series Super Tuscan and Cellar Craft Rosso Fortissimo. Performed normal QA function (hic) and predict that they are both going to be very good. The Super Tuscan is really dry with an ABV of 13% and the Rosso Fortissimo is a little "less dry" with an ABV of 12.5%.

Years ago I dbl. insulated the attic.

Years later when I remodeled and put in a cathedral ceiling I moved the insulation to the other area of the attic. I have rolls of 3' insulation up there. You can barely move.

I back sweetened our J Reisling this am. Took it to 1.002 based on last night's tasting. Will likely sample the Malvasia again and see if that needs anything.

Finished wrapping presents this morning also. Tonight we will go to church.

We're baking cookies. Might open a bottle of one of the wines I've made. Perhaps the spiced apple.
It's not even cold outside. Doesn't feel like Christmas. If it weren't for the decorations, I'd think it was October.

Hey Dan how's it going. You have been sparse lately, busy with the Mrs or work? We did get some snow yesterday(about an inch) and it was 7 this AM and only got up to about 10 for a high. That's enough winter for me . Now I want spring. LOL We are in for a few months of frigid below 0 weather and we normally get another 75 - 100 inches of snow before spring.
