labor of love??



"crushing" the grapes which will then be put in that big barrel.  what's in there now comes up to about that first "ring thing" from the bottom.  the thinking now is to arrange to have it made into raki/tsikoudia.  We are going to a raki-making party tonight, so Jim will see what kind of arrangements he can make.  In Crete there are only a certain number of folks who are licensed to make raki (a distilling process), so anyone who wants raki from their grapes must arrange with those who have licenses.  if you don't know what raki is... my descriptive is "fire water".  it's like ouzo without the licorice.  (raki)
