Word of the day

la vendange (von-donzh) noun, feminine



1. grape/wine harvest or vintage


2. grapes (harvested); grape crop  
 
 

By pure coincidence, on the day the French motdujour came up "vendange", our backyard pinot noir was impatiently sampled. (We don't know what the heck we're doing...we didn't even expect our 2008 planting to survive.)

But look. And they're even tasty.


Now what?

  1. If you crush it and let it ferment, you may get a thimble full of wine! Be sure to have a full bottle and a corkscrew on hand while you wait... ;)

  3. Hi Marsh,

    Enjoy yourself. I'm about ready to break out some New Zealand Woof Woof myself.
