Friday, we took it slow and easy. Here we are at coffee at our regular spot.
Evan's Thanksgiving office party was today, and I baked green bean casserole. Here we are about to leave for the day. Evan was able to leave a little early because of the festivities so he joined us at the wineries, which was great because he never gets to go with our visitors.
Again at Gelisi Antonio winery. I just might have my own parking spot by the time our three years is up.
You can now see the canisters that are used for the locals who bring in their demi-johns (large glass bottle surrounded in plastic and sometimes a basket) to be filled with wine. Then they take it home and drink it for a party/get-together or they bottle it themselves. It is a very cheap way to consume the local drink.
Another winery and several tastings later.
Picture of the day. The guys tried the grappa sold at the winery. Grappa is made from the stems and seeds (basically the leftovers) of the grapes after the wine is made. It is very strong, clear, and resembles hard liquor in smell and strength. Evan and Dad then tried the homemade grappa that is not allowed to be sold which Kurt makes for himself and keeps wrapped in a brown paper bag. Ugh that stuff was strong. Hence Mom's face in this picture and the title of the post!
