Here’s a romantically named grape….NY73. Gosh, it sounds much better when we make it into “Yadkin Creek” doesn’t it?!? Our friend Bruce tells me that the grape-naming-powers-that-be have recently named this previously experimental variety, ’Et Noir’. ‘A Red’ or ‘The Red’ in English? I don’t know French.
Someone please add a comment if you know A) what ‘et’ means in french and B)how to pronounce “et”. And I haven’t actually followed up with another credible source on this grape name thing, so this might all be a hoax. GASP!
O.k., o.k., I know. I’m slap happy since I’ve just finished up another long day. These grape processing days are long and tiring for me. I don’t know how Clyde holds up, but he is like the energizer bunny. Right now he is down in the cellar cleaning a filter, doing something else, and hangin’ with his good buddy Matthew. Whew. All I want to do is read two sentences of a book and pass out in bed!
So goodnight all, whoever is reading. Dream of delicious wines and then come on over and make your dreams come true! 
Oh and P.S. – Clyde is not a party-aholic as you might have inferred from my previous post. He used to be AROUND people who were though. O.k….off to sleepyland now!

‘Et’ means ‘and’.
‘Noir’ means ‘dark’.
