Autumn is winemaking time for amateur vintners in Dedham, Massachusetts

  • Old-school home winemaking from grapes is a fading artform according to local grape suppliers. Less grapes are being sold, in favor of more “juice boxes” for winemaking as the old-timers retire their equipment, and the youngsters opt for the easier pre-packaged juice.
  • Wine grapes make their journey from California vineyards to New England via train and truck to New Bedford, MA, to the car, and then home into the garage.

Grind & crush the grapes

Bocelli music plays in background, making for happy grapes and happy winemakers

Fermentation takes about a week

Now it‘s technically wine, gets transferred to a “carboy”, which is a 6-gallon bottle, and into the homemade wine cellar to age for 9 to 12 months. Longer aging = tastier wine.

Bottle it, cork it…
Enjoy the fruit of the vine. Cheers to a world of truth, freedom, and health!

The Soul as an Intelligent System

“What a beautiful gift it would have been for all of us, if we hadn’t had our thinking done for us, mostly before we were born- If we therefore didn’t know what we are supposed to think, or to believe- If our minds had not been conditioned or caged but allowed to fly free as a bird.”
