a Scary couple?

IF THE THOUGHT OF MARRIAGE IS enough to scare a lot of humans, then
the Brink family thought it might work on the birds. Their scarecrows won first

A poor year for grapes

VENCENZO CARPINO
is getting ready to make
wine this week.

However, our summer
didn’t provide very good
grape-growing weather.
None of Carpino’s out-
side grapes ripened. Even
the grapes inside the
greenhouse didn’t devel-
op or ripen to full capac-
ity.

In spite of the bad year
Carpino expects to make
about 30 litres of deli-
cious sweet red wine, He
also imports some Cali-
fornia grapes for wine
making.

Wine making has
changed quite a bit since
he was young, Carpino
remembers crushing the
grapes with his feet, as a
boy in Italy. It was the
men’s job to crush the
grapes. Now he uses
more modern crushers
and fermenters.

Wine can be made from
many. fruits, but grapes
are the only fruit that nat- BC’
urally ferments into wine.
The wine maker provides
control over - cleanliness

There are a lot of grapes
being grown locally and
s reputation for good
wines is growing,
