Beer + Wine + Goats = Typical day on the farm

Our friends Kaitlin and Peter own a farm out in Colton, OR, about an hour away from PDX. Besides having an amazing place to hang out, they also love to brew beer, and most recently, make their own wine. We invited our friends Kim and Brian (and their dogs Mattie and Ho-D) along for the ride. Brian loves the beer, and Kim is into drinking wine, so it worked out beautifully. The dogs, well they were into the goats specifically. Even though Ho-D is 1/8 the size of one goat, that didn't stop her and Duke from corralling them.

Meanwhile, the humans of the group got busy brewing bourbon infused beer (a 6-hour endeavor) and blending wine for a good balance of tannins, flavor, and finish. Not surprisingly, after a day of sampling, the blends all started to taste the same. Not that that's a bad thing.

Rebecca instituting the "one-for-me, one-for-you" rule of wine bottling.

In the end, somewhere near 105 bottles of wine were bottled, corked, and labeled according to blending tastes. Peter and Kaitlin kindly thanked us by sending us home with a variety pack each. Can't wait to see how the beer turns out!
