Sibling Rivalry Red (Vin de Pays du Michigan)
Three weeks ago, my brother and I plus family plus a few all-but-family friends picked wild grapes growing over tumbled down barns and along dirt roads in northern Michigan. We stomped them. Our mother lifted up her skirts like Lucy and stomped.
We had an uproarious Family Harvest Festival including original bawdy songs and embarrassing hilarious stories. That's great juju for the wine. This stuff probably will cure diseases and ensure heavenly salvation, even if it doesn't taste good.
These little Pinot Incognito grapes produce deep, deep, ever so deep red juice. Now that blood is fermenting in Brother Joe's basement up north. We expect about thirty bottles next spring or so.
Want a bottle? Order now for the low, low price of (let's say) $20 including shipping. Send Andrew Leonard an e-mail; he knows my e-mail.
Zero carbon footprint except for the gas we used to drive up north. Salud!
