Here’s tonight’s top 10 list ladies and gentlemen – Top 10 reasons Ross loves harvest:
10. I get to spend three weeks smashing grapes – the same grapes that the Vineyard Manager has spent six months working feverishly hard to keep intact and healthy.
9. It is acceptable to come to work in dirty torn clothes looking like a homeless man.
8. I don’t have to do the dishes at home for a month – I am never at home.
7. I am not the only foreigner at work for a change.
6. It means that my empty wine cellar at home is one step closer to being replenished.
5. I can save money because I don’t have time to spend it.
4. Drinking beer at work becomes acceptable.
3. Conversations at midnight after 18 hour days can be interesting. (Did you know that Flat Rock Cellars is actually a spaceship. I suspect the new Megalomaniac winery may be one as well)
2. A large number of Good Earth functions means tasty leftovers for busy wine makers (hint)!
1. I can get away with growing a beard!
