‘Gosh, lovely wine, and only around the corner. So nice to be in the wine area. There are several vineyards right here. And really, really close. I mean just 10 mins away.’
‘Did you know that you could get an old, but refurbish wine-press, and not too far from here?’
‘Nice idea, although we don’t have very many vines in our yard.’
‘Maybe buy some more in the garden centre?’
‘Or just buy a load of grapes… some of those great big boxes in the supermarket.’
‘Hmm, that’s easier, and already grown.’
‘So back to the question, should we find a wine-press?’
‘I am sure it could be brought here, and we could use the old shed, since there are no hens anymore.’
(a little sigh for a moment)
‘So what do you think?’
‘Hmm, we don’t have to worry about this just yet…’
‘True, not until the spring… you know, around September, I think.’
‘Oh well, you know what time it is now?’
‘Ah, so it is!’
‘Okay, you get the glasses, and I’ll get the bottle.’
‘Chin-chin!’
‘Bottoms up!’

I didn’t know what a wine press looked like. My husband’s mom’s family (100% Cicilian) had an olive oil press / business here in Fresno. Maybe it looked similar?🤔

Oh how interesting! Olive oil is wonderful, and I am sure it is very similar to make it – like the pressing and stuff. There is a small olive tree in my yard, but not enough to produce anything… yet! 🫒

Looking at this again, I realize I spelled “Sicilian” wrong 😑. It didn’t look right when I wrote it the first time but I didn’t bother to look it up. I guess I could say it’s because my mother in law’s name was Rosalie “Cecelia” Mortilaro, but that wouldn’t be true because I just thought of that right now! 😆🇮🇹

Yeah, you can skip the wine press. Why bother with the mess when you can just pick up a bottle from the store.

Well, I still think that May to Sept are warm months even though I’m wrong. We moved from Liverpool almost 15 years now, and I still get confused! 🤔😂🍷

I like that “Chin-chin” – We knew some folks who did have a grape vine – they let neighbors make jelly and jam. Another home in our neighborhood took down an old grape vine… sad to see it go, but they said it was really old and not very productive anymore.

Interesting… I believe that is right, and the very old grape vines have to go.

If they must… I used to think all trees lived forever… but they have different life spans.
