Just had to share the following wine experience that cracked me up…

This evening my 5 and 8 year old daughters gave me a hand punching down the ‘07 Zinfandel. One of them asked what kind of wine was in the carboys on the bench next to the Zin. I replied in my best French accent, “why, it’s Mourvedre.”  If you’ve ever seen the movie Tommy Boy you may remember the scene where Chris Farley does his best James Earl Jones impersonation as he booms into an oscillating fan, “Luke, I’m your father”.

Well, hearing my daughters take turns saying, “moo-ved-ray” into the fan keeping our garage cool brought a huge smile to my face. I just love the fact that they’re interested enough in my winemaking obsession to lend me a hand and ask questions.

Absolutely priceless!
