Andreas got me a cute basket then filled it with candy and granola bars from around the house.

Adding Some Grape Leaves
I spent a long time embroidering a big, huge leaf on Darlene's wine block. I also added a smaller leaf and a quote from Robert Lewis Stevenson. I hope she likes it. Top is before; bottom is after.

New Stash
This is what we bought at Milestii Mici. Our wine cabinet is having problems holding all our bottles lately. Two of these will go to Amy and Tommy for the benefit; one will go to Kirby and Currie; and one to Andreas' parents. Each of you, place your dibs now.
For the record, all of these combined cost under $100. Also, the bottles in the bottom photo have maps of the cellars on them and are supposedly better vintages. We didn't taste an outright bad wine there, but the wines are definitely a bit on the sweeter rather than drier side. Moldova is known for that.

Above Ground
Here is what the Milestii Mici winery looks like above ground. They have a nice picnic area and a shop. You can visit both without doing the cellar tour and tasting. It was a pretty gray early spring day when we went, so it's not very green.

Adding Some Lace
I've started on the lacy bits now on the upper part of this section. I'm getting closer to being done with this section, finally!
