Add one more to the Resume

And with that, we finish out another job here in New Zealand. Friday, May 9th we said our good byes to those great folks at Nobilo who turned us from total greenies when it came to working with wine to rough and tumble veterans of a wine vintage. Note to self: Maybe it takes a few more vintages to be able to party like a wine vintage veteran - holy crap these people party hard!

It'll take us a few weeks to fully recover from vintage, for the calluses and cuts to heal on our hands, for us to wake up at a normal hour of the day, for the nightmares of overflowing a tippy tank or running the RDV dry to stop and for the pallet to return to normal and not think that every Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc tastes like the sludge at the bottom of the tank.

Today and tomorrow we'll spend packing up, trying to get everything to fit back in our bags and then we'll head off to see the South Island before flying out, back to the US on the 21st of May.

Before we head off, I'm going to try to post some more pictures and set up a new quiz to keep you all busy while we travel. Be sure to check it all out.
