Wine Making Season In Lodi

Take four guys with a love of wine, families, living in wine country (Lodi appellation) and what does that leave you with???

FOUR WINE WIDOWS!

Our First Egg!!!

This morning I discovered our first egg! I don't know who the mother hen is, either the big white Zacky or petite brown Vinny. Here's Vincent showing off the egg and some updated pics of the girls. I'll have to post a Vinny pic at a later date.

You're an Octopus!

Thoughtful and reflective, you always appear to have tilted your
head slightly to one side. You like stretching out your languorous body wherever
you can, but not everything is always relaxed. You wear your emotions on your
sleeve and have a terrible poker face. And when you feel most threatened, you start
writing things down furiously. If there's a sucker born every minute, there's one
of you born roughly every day.

Rest in Peace Gramma...
