Recovering... Adult Prom followed by Karaoke at a downtown bar... up too late for my old arse. Planning to spend most of the day on the sofa, petting the dog. But, I do have 5 cases of chardonnay downstairs than need labels. Might get that done.
What R you doing today?

CHAMPIONS!!! So proud of these kids - truly a team. They worked hard and were constantly talking each other up. Especially proud of my own kid, who went 3 for 3 yesterday, driving in 4 runs and scoring one of his own.
Congrats Jim!
Way to go!
Do they get to move on into tournament play as a team or do they pick an "all star" team from all the teams to represent the league in tournament play?

Of those who self-nominated for the tournament (all star) team, the players vote. 8 players are chosen based on voting, with the coaches choosing the remaining 3-4. Then it's 6-7 days a week of baseball until mid July - longer if they go farther.
With us, many many ears ago, it was 6-7 days of 2 a day practices.

Ugh! I'm at the point where I think most of the guys who make it to the big leagues are simply those that survive.
It was tough on some of the parents but the kids loved it.
Had to dump three 1/2 gallon jugs of topping off wine, I totally neglected to sulfite, live and learn. Heading out for a round of golf then per the recommendation of @Boatboy24 going to Cooper's Hawk Winery.

Reston or Loudon? I like the Loudon location much better.
Going to a wine release party at Slow 2 20 winery in Amador. The winery is about 4 years old and is named after the sign on the winding road they are on. They make great Barbera and Zinfandel. BBQ, piano player, should be fun.

Total Wine run this morning.

Ha! A few bottles of Faux Wine! LOL That is one thing I dislike about TW. Lots and lots of wines that are nothing more than bottled bulk wines. Guess who bought the entire lot of excess bulk wine and had somebody bottled it up for them....... TW!
100% profit for them, no middle man, no three tier system (Winery ----> Wholesaler -----> Retailer)
Instead its (Winery ----> Retailer)

Yeah, I know. Its getting harder and harder to find 'real' stuff there. And the "Winery Direct" stuff usually disappoints me. I'd say 85-90% of what was in there today was "Winery Direct".
They have some decent wines there you just have look around and know your stuff. Look for a review from a trusted source (WA, WS etc.) I see a lot of wines from bad harvest years like this is the place that all these wines come to die a slow death on a shelf resting upright (instead of laying down) under very bright neon lights on 24/7.......

How long did they sit without sulphite?
5 months in half gallon jugs. Terrible VA smell.
