Florence met up with her love match, Merlot, this weekend and puppies expected mid October. This is the same boy we used 2 years ago and the same one who sired Flo's sister Dizzy's litter. Merlot is a UK show champion and Flo is a show dog winner, including a class win at Crufts. She also competes at obedience shows and next year we hope she will follow in brother Rory's footsteps and train to work with a carriage.

So we are hoping for some great puppies

"And I need to get back to my Rutz Merlot!"

Pretty much what I think whenever Matt says something like that...

First harvest of grapes...Syrah and Merlot from Red Willow. Syrah had a whopping 27-29 brix and a ph of 3.4 while Merlot was 25 with a ph of 3.8.

A local family owned restaurant has approached me to possibly do some food & wine shots for promotional purposes. These are just some of my own practice shots so that when the time comes, I can have samples to show.

While I'm as fond of naked flying redheads with bicycles as anyone, I've always liked this Alphonse Mucha image more. I'm not sure how she keeps her glorious tresses out of the spokes, though.

finished off the Merlot w/ a grlfriend tonight. This is the view looking down into the decanter.

Almost ready, the merlot grapes at Robert Mondavi Vineyards await harvest in August 2005.

Crushing 17 tons of Merlot grapes.

Gėrimo aprašymas

Classico linijos vynai išsaugojo tradicines šeimos vertybes. Aromatingas, su gėlių ir raudonųjų vaisių užuomina; puikiai subalansuoto, švelnaus, gaivinančio skonio rožinis vynas.

Derinimas su maistu

Idealiai tinka kaip aperityvas; dera su daržovių arba vaisių salotomis, paella, egzotinių šalių virtuvės (ypač kiniečių) patiekalais.

Excellent Merlot. Very full and fruity. What a merlot should be.
