AAASTINKIE is HERE!!

[AAASTINKIE]

I baked some French bread tonight for tomorrow night, my son and his wife are coming over, he likes red wine so I'll be going with a Chilean Carmenere by En Primeur (Spagnols)

 

[Wade E]

Bread looks awesome Frank and does that kit have the grape skins?

 

[AAASTINKIE]

No grape skins in the Chilean Carmenere, but I did make a Super Tuscan with grape skins, I want more age on it though I just bottled it a few months ago, his favorite red so far is a low priced Zinfandel I made.

Lilly goes home tomorrow, we had our final tea party today.

I'm having a really hard time stinkie figuring our which of you is the luckier one !!!


Great looking loaves too buddy. Wouldn't mind puttinga lip lock around a piece of that with some good butter slobbered all over it

 

[PolishWineP]

Waldo! Quit slobbering and use your napkin! Geeze! Can't take you anywhere.

 

[Waldo]

Sorry princess..did not realize it was that obvious...

The hops are starting to take off!! They should be pretty big by September.

 

[grapeman]

I know nothing about Hops, so I looked them up. I found this site at UVM across the lake and not too far from you. Maybe there is something there that you can find interesting if you haven't seen it yet.

Looking good Frank!

My son was here Sunday night, he like Red wine (tastes like dirt to me) he thought the Super Tuscan was great, was a kit with grape skins, but he still thinks the Vino del Vida Zinfandel kit is the best (a 55 dollar kit).
Well we had a piece of cheese in the fridge shrink wrapped we made years ago and he loves cheese, the cheese was very strong but again he loved it and of course wants me to make more, it was over 2 years and I will have to get re-trained on cheese making, but I still have the press upstairs. I didn't get a picture till the next morning...lol..

 

[Wade E]

Wow, 2 years huh! Its a good thing he likes the Vino kit seeing as how
the $ for the Amarone is lot pricier and the vino doesnt have to age as
long. How long was the Amarone aged for?

Went to Monhegan Island, Maine with my new squeeze Rita, fantastic place to hike 12 miles out to sea.

 

[jobe05]

New Squeeze Rita????? Is that why you haven't been around in a while?

Rita needs to join the forum so we can all tell her what a lucky Gal she is! I'm sure she already knows though.

Good for you AA, you deserve someone special

 

[AAASTINKIE]

Thankfully, Rita is as adventurous as I am, we went 12 miles out in my 11' blow up boat...lol

 

[Joanie]

Isn't this the same pose Chris Columbus used before setting out for the New World?

 

[NorthernWinos]

Glad for you Stinkie...everybody needs somebody.

 

[rgecaprock]

Frank is setting out for a new world!!!! I couldn't be happier for you!!!
You and Rita make a great couple!!!!
