It's rhubarb season here in Minnesota just started my second batch of rhubarb wine planning to make 7 total 5 gallon batches
As one who can't seem to cut two pieces of wood the same length, I'm envious!
Hi, do you mind if I ask what pH you are getting for the rhubarb juice. Mine can in at pH 2.

Not painted yet but works pretty good. I tend to scrape and wash a case at a time so this will hold 14 max.Dowels should be about 45 degree angle to drain properly. I used two 6’ pieces of dowel rod which was the only expense.
Don’t get gorilla glue on your hands!

Not today- but the other night. I couldn’t sleep and turned on the TV and Sideways had just started.
Maybe this movie is a cliche’ for winos to love, but I don’t care. I still love this film. Been a few years And I ended up watched the entire thing.
The scene towards the end of the movie when they are talking about why they love wine is by far my favorite- And I believe supposed to be correlating to life itself. Love it. This one never gets old.

Good one for sure but also kinda depressing in the same breath. Reminds us that life isn't always pretty and everything doesn't always get wrapped up in a pretty bow in the end of every movie.
......and, just like a bottle of wine, you shouldnt risk waiting too long before enjoying it.
There was actually a Sideways sequel made almost 10 yrs later picking up where the original left off. Though it was never made into a movie- only the novel. Called Vertical. (I own it but have yet to read it) And you may be interested to know this sequel is NOT focused in Napa, with the main focus up in Northwest wine country—-in Willamette Valley, Oregon for a Pinot Noir wine festival.
** and just now while fact checking myself I learned a 3rd installment was also written about
3 yrs ago. Set in Chile.
LOL I have the same exact (sequel) book but have yet to read it also. Retirement looming in ~4 months now.

No longer a newbie, but still clueless.
Dad's headed over in a bit and we'll bottle the 2016 Zinfandel based blend I'm calling "Unchained". We have 11 gallons to deal with. I'll label and foil another time. Will also rack, stabilize and add oak to the 2018 Carmenere/Petite Verdot.
Thanks to @ibglowin , who gave me the blend ratios for a past "Prisoner" offering a while back. That's what "Unchained" was modeled after and I think we've made something that can stand up to its inspiration.

Sadly I am down to only a couple bottles of mine but that was easily one of the best blends I have ever made hands down. You should have a good one as well as long as you don't over oak it and I suspect you have your oak levels dialed in by now.
Been having some lower back and hip problems lately, woke up today and things were feeling better, so figured it's time to make the 'ol hip hurt again. Put a 4-5 inch base of rock down for a simple walkway. Wanted to get that started and let it settle for a few weeks (and rains) before I put in my 11 yr old daughter's "fairy garden" which will be the plot to the left of the walk.
I will be starting my first batch tomorrow but I will only have 2 this year.
Headed out on Fathers Day with wifey and kids for a 7 day cruise out of NO, stopping in Key West, Nassau, and Freeport. My girls are getting older, one just graduated from LSU, might be our last vacation with the whole herd.
Happy Fathers Day to all you Dads out there, enjoy your day!!
