A little more wine

At the Haas wine tasting we learned that our local Solano Cellars wine shop was doing a "Super-Natural" afternoon of organic and biodynamic wines.  A group of us decided to wander over, especially when the words free-if-you-say-you're-from-Haas were spoken.

It was an interesting selection, the strangest of the bunch being a white wine where the maker dropped the grapes into big fibreglass tanks and left them for a few months before pouring what came out into bottles.  It smelled like dessert wine and tasted like vinegar.  "It's one you have to get used to," the shop owner said, before telling us that it was $78 a bottle.  It was back home and back to the box wine after that.



Or free.



Keep the good stuff coming!



Look, it's Elliot without his kids during daylight hours!  Wow.



Fiona and Dan, Kiwis both, patriotically complain that nothing's as good as the NZ stuff (they're right).



Empties.
