Me vs. nature
in Winemaking
It looks, feels and sounds — yes, sounds — like rain is headed my way. That should be great news for drought-stricken SoCal, right?
Not if you grow grapes.
The fruit is already turning shades of muted-to-deep purple, and a rain storm this morning means I’ll be out there with a leaf blower this afternoon, trying to dry off the fruit. Yes, the fruit gets blow-dried.
I spent yesterday draping the vines in netting, protecting my Syrah and Zin from the birds. Today, I may be blasting them with air, protecting them from the elements.

Whatever that is in your hand looks *terrifying*.
Basket Press!! (And a tiny one, at that!) Yeah, you don’t want to get your hand caught in there.

Love putting a face to a tumblr friend (I mean you, not the dogs. But they’re cool too).
We’re all pretty shaggy. ( :
When you want them in a picture, they find something more interesting to do. When you’re trying to take have some pictures taken of yourself, they insist on being the center of attention…

On October 7, 2014, please join Damon Suede, Kate McMurray, Racheline Maltese and four authors (Killian B. Brewer, A.J. DeWall, Melissa Graves, and Erin Finnegan) from the newly launched Interlude Press, at a reading of LGBTQ romance and erotic fiction upstairs at the historic Stonewall Inn in New York City.
Authors will be reading from their latest releases and will have signed books available for sale. You’ll also have a chance to win free books and other goodies!
Admission is free, although the space does have a two drink minimum (non-alcoholic beverages are available, but the space is 21+).
Right now, however, we need your help. We have no idea what to call this event! So we’re holding a contest to name it. One lucky winner will get some great LGBTQ reading material, two free drinks at the event (if you can’t attend, we’ll find some other goodies for you), and massive bragging rights.
Want to enter? Fill out the form at the bottom of the announcement on Avia30. We don’t need your real name, but we do need a way to reach you. The contest will close to new entries at 11:59pm EST June 27, and we’ll announce the winning name and more details about the event in July!
Very excited to be a part of this! I hope to see you at the Stonewall Inn, but in the mean time, this event needs a name!

Racking
The Old Vine Zinfandel is shaping up to be the best of my 2013 wines: Great color, clarity and taste.
The grapes for this wine were collected from an old vineyard in Etiwanda, CA that was about to be plowed under for new development. We got the chance to harvest some wonderful fruit and rescue as many vines as possible (I have 10 of them in my yard now).From this morning’s racking session.

For those who think winery music is all Vivaldi and Mozart, here’s the start of the soundtrack for today’s racking session.
