Good Morning: 9:40 am

I have some cider news. Minnesota Crisp, our hard

apple cider make from a blend of 5 apple varieties from Trump Orchard of Faribault, is back on tap and available for keg sales. And next week the 22 ounce bottles return to the shelves. What makes this cider stand out from the rest of the market is that it starts with fresh squeezed apple juice brought to our winery and then it is fermented in a white wine style. This gives it special fruity flavor similar to drinking an apple moscato.

Even more cider news: We are finishing up on a new cider, it is made from 5 apples and one grape. Having six ingredients and keep in mind our German speaking heritage you'll understand the label name. This cider is currently fermented but not yet ready for bottling. I have tasted it and I think you will love it. Apple with a little zing.

This afternoon we get to do one of those grandparent things, it is grandparent day at Iza's school. She talked with grandma last week to be sure we come, she also already said she wants to come home with us after the program. This must be a

universal and multi-generational thing, liking to get out of school early. When I was in junior high, my dad let me skip the Christmas program at school and go fishing with him. Of course, now days that would be a poor example to your children. All the same I still kept my work ethic. When it is time to work, you work; and time to play, then play.
