Grapes. Uve. Grapes. UveThe grape harvest - Paolo's
dolcetto grapes Yes, he had to stop en route to check
on Joe's progress (below). We were laughing because
Franco swung by to give us a basket of grapes, then
Paolo, then we just saw random people walking
around with  grapes in their hands....besides dolcetto,
Paolo grows barbera and moscato (my favorite). The
weird thing is that the grapes taste like the wine - I had
it in my head that wine grapes were bitter and gross...I
was wrong.
Our lovely garden in Autunno - see
the bowl of grapes...one of many
Joe's really big hole (right) to fix the small leak and the
picture on the left of Paolo and Guillermo is staged, Gui
said, "Rhonda here take our picture." and they picked up
the shovels... - because those guys, between harvesting
grapes were just side lining and telling Joe how he
should do it, ..."Joe you need to rip up your floor, but make
sure you measure first."
