An Evening Out

On Saturday, part of my small group (and a former groupie) went up a wine-tasting and concert at the vineyard where one of our group members works. Jason walked us through the process that goes into making wine.





No, Joe, you can't help run the forklift.


It was interesting to learn how aging the wine in wood barrels adds to its distinctive flavoring.


The whole process is done by hand, including filling and labeling the bottles.


Until the finished product is complete!



After the tour, we went upstairs for the tasting.

Jesus was there.








Maybe one too many?


There was a funky soul blues band playing from Baltimore.



There was dancing and much rejoicing.

The "Jesus was there" picture is hilarious in context. He even looks like he's not happy with all the drinking and merriment going on...

So did you get to use the word "bunghole" a lot?

No David. You've totally misread him. It's not the merriment that he's concerned about. He's actually looking at Rita and saying, "What the . . . . That's not the wine I made!"

Thanks Jason and friends for an awesome time!

Joe.

Haha, it's just looked like a cliche "God is frowning at you because you are drinking and merrymaking" image.

Does it have that quote under the picture, or something?
