Not fresh grapes. Grapes are trash fruit.

If there is one food I cannot stand, it’s grapes. Never has there been a more worthless fresh fruit than those worthless grassy tree cucumbers.

But… when crushed, pressed, fermented, and clarified, grapes become a thing of beauty.

Things I live for:

• Husband, children, the dog. Let’s get this obligatory statement out of the way quickly and move onto the fun stuff.
• Cooking
• Consuming Wine
• Quilting

Cooking while consuming wine can be a delicate process. On occasion I manage to make the best thing I’ve ever eaten and then forget what I tossed into the recipe before my plate is empty. Here’s to hoping keeping a log helps my memory.
