Full Rack!

After brent and i bottled the Merlot, i let it set up right for three days so the corks would expand as much as they could before getting wet when turned on their side. After three days had passed i loaded them into the wine rack. i filled up the wine rack! Woot! i even have some bottles left over stuck in some cardboard boxes. My dad sent me some email saying that we should get another wine rack because they're having a sale right now. But the price of the wine rack is the same as the price of our current one. i guess it would be kind of cool to have another wine rack and stack it on top of our current one, then we would have a giant wall of wine...
i went to a party about 2 weeks ago, and decided to break open the German white wine. i was pretty buzzed before drinking it...and it still tasted awful. i'm going to blame the grape because i've never had a German wine that was good. i'm sure part of the awful taste was contributed by me, but the shiraz turned out alright? sorta...i'm sorry to the one person i gave a bottle of Muller-Thurgau to. i'm sure you hate me for it, at least the label was kind of nice?

Well i've taken a break from the wine making for now. Might read up on a few things before getting back in the fermenting business. Might even try crushing my own grapes this summer, we'll see....
