Thats why I must stay too busy to drink any for awhile yet! Luckily I have a nice selection as well of commercial stuff to drink until this is good and ready.

Bwaaaaahahahahaha........

 

[AlFulchino]

you know what i see when i see a topic like this?

enthusiasm

 

[ibglowin]

My wife just keeps seeing $$$$ go out the door!

 

[AlFulchino]

well remind her how much was saved at the next big meal when you didnt have to drink some 2 buck stuff and you didnt have to pay some high price for the fine wine you are enjoying

and IF that fails....which it will not....then remind her that the 50% off sale at Nordstroms is still 1/2 of a small fortune

 

[ibglowin]

Thank goodness Nordstrom's hasn't quite made it past Phoenix in the Southwest. Thats my wife's favorite store esp Nordstrom's Rack....

On second thought if they did make it to NM she would be out shopping and helping to stimulate the economy and perhaps quit giving me grief over all those carboys I have bulk aging!

 

[ibglowin]

Were going to need another rack real soon if this keeps up!

 

[admiral]

Mike, it looks great and the stock is building. It feels really good when you stand back and look at it, doesn't it?

 

[ibglowin]

I can't wait to see both of those racks completely full!

Thats going to be a site to behold.

 

[Scott]

Nice racks there, chrome my favorite color. You gonna need some help drinking all that?????

 

[ibglowin]

Probably! I will have over 450 bottles when all my kits that I have in process are bottled.

I am hoping I have so much that I can let it properly age for the most part and have some nicely aged bottles to send into next years Winemaker 2011 competition.

Should have enough to do a "couple" of wine tastings at least!

 

[AlFulchino]

i wish i had known you when my son played for the Isotopes...we could have shared a bottle or two

 

[ibglowin]

How cool!

When did he play for them?

[AlFulchino]

i want to say it was 3-4 yrs ago...i liked NM a lot...if my family was not here i would have moved to the southwest ages ago

 

[ibglowin]

It works for me.

We moved here back in 1986 so I suppose were almost considered native by now. I lived in heat and humidity all my life prior to moving here (Texas).I love the four seasons, 325 days of sunshine and the dry humidity. We will probably stay in the SW when we retire, just may move to lower elevation.

The SWMBO does not like cold so much anymore!

If I remember correctly, on the bottles of wine per week survey, you indicated you drink maybe 3 to 4 bottles of wine per week.

You better get busy, boy!

At least you have enough that much of it should make it to a good ole age.

Put me in your will.

 

[ibglowin]

Yea, I definitely need to pick up the pace!

 

[ibglowin]

I think I better order another Wine Rack, these two are almost full!

Still have room for 4 - 5 more kits, just have to move the boxes and rearrange things a bit.

But.....


I think I will need one still soon enough. At least I have self control and not drinking it before its ready.......

 

[AlFulchino]

ay yiiii yiiiii yi yi......you have a habit
