On the left is a design with a heart-shaped backgroud, and the left is a diamond. Which one works with the illustration? The bottom designs are desaturated to appear older. Does the top or bottom colors work better?
5 months and totally blase about the first sighting of snow. Urg. Cold stuff. Bring me my pipe, slippers and glass of Port, Jeeves.
Just a random house wine from a local pub. Was practicing with the HDR App on my Android phone. Which does a great job at bringing out the colors and brightness in darker under exposed areas, while toning down the brightness in overly bright spots.
Wednesday night. I selected enough bottles from the new ones I picked up last night to make a full set of 30. Not having any idea about their state of cleanliness I gave the new bottles a good scrub in hot water with a bottle brush.
Having done that, I thought to inspect the insides... and then to do the same to my old bottles that I'd cleaned the other day. And found moldy spots in several of them.
So, not wanting to do this half-arsed, I put ALL 30 bottles through a soak in super-hot water, followed by vigorous scrub with bottle brush, followed by blast with bottle cleaner then visual inspection.
Eventually I had 30 very clean bottles.
Ktera Winery was established in 2010. An Israeli boutique winery as another branch to a family of an agricultural economy.
The winemaker, Moshe Saadon, worked to establish the winery which started with a very great hobby and love for wine.
Initially, the wine was produced solely for self-consumption and was named “The Farmers’ Wine.” They have always been engaged in agriculture, and are very much involved in the soil work.
For them, wine is one of the best results the earth can give.
With the passage of time, the vast experience accumulated, and the huge demand from the consumer audience, they decided to establish the “Ktera Winery.”
The winery is located in Kfar Aviv, Israel near the city of Ashdod. Before the establishment of the state of Israel, there was an ancient Arab settlement that was named — “Ktera.”
At the same time, according to the Moroccan ethnicity, the name “Ktera” means drop/sip.
When gathered for an aperitif, eating and drinking wine, occasionally the partners propose to pour another “Ktera”, that is, to pour another drop (wine).
In addition, the custom of the Hasidim was the multiplicity of banquets, such as a third supper, as the Sages said, “The sip (of wine) is so powerful because it brings the hearts closer.” This led to the unification of people and their mutual help in spirituality and in the physical. And that is their goal, to bring them all together with joy and kindness.
It is important to note that all wines are kosher under Beit Yosef — Orthodox Union.
The Wines:
Port-style dessert wine
Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Shiraz, Petite Sirah

Ok! This was supposed to be a set up of a chair with a bag and some shadow - in comes Merlot, my cat with her mission to sabotage any arrangement I have been satisfied with...
This hat has a different sort of color combo that made me think of merlot wine.. the mohair and wool locks I used to decorate it are super soft and bring together the colors of the hat in an unexpected way!
