366 Days of 2012, Day 81 - Let The Wine Flow

Making ordinary everyday things look great in photos is fun but sometimes I forget just how extraordinary some of my everyday experiences really are.

Today was no exception as we pressed the zinfandel must and got a first glimpse and taste of our future wine. This is my first wine making experience and although I can't take the credit for supervision and process at least I am involved. So far it tastes fantastic although just a little bit spritzy as it's still full of CO2.

Looking around the lawn at buckets, funnels, sieves, drums and the press perched up on paving bricks it does all look at little ordinary, a little backyardish. With that I give my arm a pinch and remind myself there is nothing ordinary about it at all.

There are a few other images from today here on Facebook.
