Yesterday, Heather and I made a day trip to the Alentejo region of Portugal. First stop: Herdade do Rocim winery in Cuba to learn about amphora wines. The wines were nice, but we both agreed that the wines weren’t as aromatic as we are used to. #wine (Vila de Frades, Beja, Portugal)

✅ Ceiling is done! All knotty pine is installed.

Next step is electrical, but that will have to wait for a few weeks #wine #ProjectWineCellar

✅ Walls 3 and 4 complete, with zero boards to spare. ?
