Hot August Bottle Aged Night Grapes

It's been awhile since we posted. We've been busy with the baby, a new grape crop that is growing on our property and just living life. The baby finally got her two bottom teeth in, after 6 months of teething. We have some nice old grape vines growing on our property. The wood looks like it is at least 12 years old, but we've heard the vines peak out and that they may be 20 years or more old. Out of the last 6 years we've lived here, this is only the second year that the grapes look like we can harvest any. I took some time to figure out a watering schedule and prune them so they are coming in very nice this year. I hope to be able to make a delicious wine out of them.

The beer my wife made, which we named Clara Belle Ale, has been bottle aging for 3 months. It should be perfect for our baby's first birthday party (for the grown ups, not her). It's hard to believe my baby girl is almost one! (let alone that I have a kid...) She has been a great inspiration and installment to my life. She makes the wine even sweeter. I love watching her learn and discover new things, it's almost like she's human, lol.

Here are the pictures of the August grapes that should be ready to harvest in September.
