The Fed Ex truck arrived in my driveway this morning (4/15/2009). The delivery man staggered up the steps and with a smile announced, "Its heavy man, watch out." I thanked him, took posession, then staggered downto the winery with my prize. I opened the package, scooped out the peanuts
, and slowly pulled the bucket from the box. My Amarone had arrived.
Even before it was opened, that sweet grape smell was detectable.
Be careful when opening the bucket, edges can be sharp.
And this is what you see when the bucket is opened.
These are the ingredients laid out (except the juice!) for for inspection.
The juice. All are now waiting the obligitory 24 hours before starting!
