Way of the Grape

Recorded over a week ago, no intro music, and it’s short but I guess something is better than nothing. Introducing the German red grape, yes red, Dornfelder. Sorry, no bottle pic or details. I’ll come back to form for the next episode.

My ugly mug on video. Lots of lip smacking, crooked glasses, and goofy intro of my vacuum cleaner. Laugh, ridicule, enjoy. Don’t mind the erratic video quality
