A bunch of grapes is called une grappe. A single grape is called un raisin. A raisin is called un raisin sec, "a dried grape." The verb used up in the title is se former which means "to form." The verb fermenter means "to ferment." Confused? It won't matter after a few sips.
The vineyard workers are busy as bees spraying against fungus, weeding, trimming, and otherwise caring for the crop while the weather is hot and dry.
We woke up yesterday to no running water. It happens from time to time. Fortunately, we've learned to keep a few liters of still mineral water in the pantry for taking pills, brushing teeth, making tea or coffee and such. The water came back just before noon.
I enjoy watching this process with you. Here, it’s grape/uva, raisin/pasa or uva pasa. Nothing like French.
