Update on the Wine

Well .. I have left the wine sitting for 1 week now, untouched. And I am glad to say the sediment has settled and the wine in the bottles has a crystal clear look. So I uncorked one bottle to test it and sure enough, it's clear!

Dejan's First Miracle: Changing Grape Juice to Wine

Well, I finally siphoned my wine out of the carboy last night and put it into bottles. My batch of wine made about 25 bottles of wine. It tastes really good, the only problem is that the wine is still a little cloudy. I decided not to use any clarifying solution and that is probably why. The ingredients in the solution didn't seem very appetizing to me: shell fish oil for example. But maybe the next time I do it I will use the solution. I will let the bottles sit for a few weeks with the hopes that some of the sediment will settle.

When We Truly Know Man

I heard a quote the other day when I was watching my new favrotie television show: Criminal Minds. The quote came at the end of the show and it is by William Hubbard.

When we truly know man we will neither idolize nor hate.

I thought that was a great line to make me think for a while - what more can one expect from a television show?!?!

Shots of Gabby

We had Gabby dressed up as a lion for Halloween - I like to say she was dressed up as Aslan.
