Clearly gugie is showing his heritage with this wine I found at my local trader joes
He seems to be branching out into winemaking

squirtdad I've been visiting that winery since well before I could legally drink. It's located across the street from the High School in Morgan Hill and they used to have a coke machine that had better prices than the HS machines. Now that you mention it, I think there was a kid in the back with a brazing torch. I never connected the two....

I’ve climbed many hills with @gugie and have never known him to whine. Curse, yes, but whine, no.

Well, how was it?
I happen to like petite syrah, but I have to cross the state line to get to a Costco that sells wine. Maybe worth it?

Making wine is rewarding. The juice is relatively inexpensive, the process is fairly straight forward, and the results are usually really good. At one point, my wife made a comment about how good the wine was. My daughters chimed in and said it wasn't hard to do. You need familiy to keep you humble. She is kind of right. It is just a matter of not making mistakes. I have made a few. Making labels and putting the capsules on to give it a finished look is always great, so that your friends think you are a pro. We came up with a label like we were a legit winery.

At first I thought the drawing on the label included a bike wheel, but I betcha it's some kind of wine press.

Then there's the competition. Being French, the cork probably isn't standard and you would need a special corkscrew to open it.
