Pffft... where's the adventure in THAT?

"I CURSE YOU SMALL GOD! Oh, you gonna punish me by tickling me with that ostrichfeather, oh the agony, oh the humanity..."

Just doesnt work quite as well as being dragged back to R'lyeh whimpering in terror all the way or mightily smote by a freak thunderstorm.

Weather is quite nice today tho, a nice crisp zero degrees, sun is just coming up, no wind... Looks like it's going to be a beautiful autumn day.

And where's the snow? You're Sweden, so you ought to have snow!

I tell you where it is: It's right here! I could build a mini-snowman on my office's terrace...

We've been freezing here two nights in a row, with nearly all the leaves still on the trees. That's seriously bad for those trees, as all the weight from the ice has already taken down some. For the wine, on the other side, it's quite good news!

For the wine? Will it come as ice cubes instead of in bottles?!
(you see, Bavaria is NOT a wine-growing region

)

Icewine/Eiswein?

We had some night frost as well, on some places. We had to clear the car window of ice yesterday, but not this morning. Living close by the sea does have advantages...

It's a clear blue sky today, though the wind looks to have picked up.

GeoffC · 10-15-2009, 06:56 AM

It's warm and muggy here !!

cloudy and almost wind-less ....

There's still a fair amount of Riesling out there and the Oechsle has already been really high before the frost.

Skoal, mtravellerh, although I have no idea what you are talking about

Cold over here today, windy, -3C (yes MINUS!!!!)....

Oechsle: effectively sugar-content. For eiswein/icewine, high would be desirable (Is that right, m-to-the-h?).

Cheers,

Fair enough, just so long as you don't make it an either/or situation. I do like the Noble rot.

Cheers,
Marc
