With my second batch of wine currently “in production,” the need for a place to store it (and the wine from my first batch) was becoming apparent. There’s this thing about wine. You need to keep it around for a while before it becomes all it can be. We’ve been sampling the wine I made in January about every two or three weeks and we can tell how the taste is slowly changing (for the better). It’s hard to stay patient. Anyway, with all this wine around, we were needing a place to store it. Yesterday, I went to the hardware store bought some materials and made some crude shelving. I guess we now have a wine cellar in our basement.
If you’re not careful, the word ‘lush’ might start being passed around in association with you…. 😛
I’m certainly not a lush at the moment. If I was, all the wine would be gone before it had the time to be on the shelf long enough to age. When you go to the store and buy a bottle of wine, you don’t give any thought to how long it’s been sitting in a cellar somewhere. When it’s sitting in your own cellar, time moves rather slowly.
