wine bottling

A year or so ago I decided that we would start making our own wine. Somehow, between being pregnant and wanting to avoid the chemical fumes involved, and needing to keep breastfeeding babies happy, I managed to avoid doing much (any?) of the work myself. My husband and most amazing and helpful Dad have filled many many bottles of wine for our drinking pleasure (how's the buttering up working, Dad?). We're working on building up our own supplies but in the meantime my parents are kind enough to share both their supplies and skills with us. Thanks Dad & Mom!

Here are some photos from our January bottling day...
