Purcari Wine Tasting

 Wine tasting at Purcari is a -big deal-.  There were ten wines to taste and eleven glasses for each person - one for water.  You get a score card and a few nibbles and half a glass of wine as an initial taste for each variety.  There's also a video about Purcari and a sommelier who tells you about each wine.  The tasting itself takes longer than the tour.

Second Flower Petaling

I -think- I'm over halfway done with this now.  There isn't all that much left to go.

Beached

Beach Construction is now done, striking another project off the Crazy January list.  I'm going to make this into a pin pillow when I get the time.  It's not a piece I'm attached to, but I already have someone lined up to take it from me.

Different Views

This top panorama is of the vineyards around the winery.  Below are photos of the "real" cellar, which has vaults dating back to the 1820's.  Those vaults are only half high and a tight fit to crawl into, so I let Andreas do it.

Magnet Done

Yay, a quick finish!  The baseball mitt is done and has its magnet on the back.  As you can see from my mistake here, don't use superglue!  At least it looks like a shadow for the star.

In The Fridge

 Purcari has a giant refrigerated warehouse.  This is where they keep their bottled wine to let it rest and where they keep some of their aging barrels.
