TURNING WATER INTO WINE

TURNING WATER INTO WINE * WINE PROJECT 2021
Mostly a time lapse film of the making of 3 different wines @ blue house in Hamilton NJ in the Season of 2021 with Michaś: bottling, corking, labeling...
"Turning water into wine..." - that's what we need now - WAITING FOR a MIRACLE...
This film has lots of double meaning symbols underlined by the beautiful lyrics of Peter Gabriel's song - "Solsbury Hill".
Film shows the good old days with Michaś living in the blue house.
When this film is ready, I will introduce the new PLAYLIST to mP:
VINE & SPIRITS MAKING with 7 films of wine and liqueur making.
The fragment of the film at the end is intentionally played in reverse as I want to undo the damage, disenchant or charm away all the bad things that happened - and come back to the original settings...
Since the squirrels, raccoons and possums decided to destroy my garden this season - 2024 - perhaps I will dedicate next season (if I live that long) - 2025 - to making wines and filming it. I will not plant anything - so the f zoo around bh can kiss my ass and won't be able to eat anything from my garden.
According to the principle - THE ONLY WAY NOT TO LOSE - IS NOT TO PLAY - that Universe is imposing on me for some secret f up reason.
I could start a new channel/vlog - WINE & SPIRITS MAKING - with me actually talking/narrating what's going on - making wines from the very beginning -
buying apples @ HELO FARM or collecting them at ORCHARD FARM in Princeton...
cutting apples/pears/grapes into pcs and inserting them into the glass 5 gallon carboys.
I made 7 different wines that season of 2021 (shown in this film) - but bottled only 3 wines bc did not have any more bottles, as of now (SEP2024) I still have 4 carboys full of wine that I drink little by little. But I intend to bottle these now - maybe next week if I have time...
Part 2 of the film:
Here is the Story of how all this started...From the very beginning...
I bought a used carboy @ Columbus flea market, but it was full of corks...
This is the worst part - taking the fruit out of the carboys.
To make it much easier - I could use the plastic bucket (white - rated for food processing),
but glass carboys make it very photogenic - one can see the color of the fruit and fermentation process...
Candles for mosquitoes - flying vampires...
Watering the garden before nightfall...
Relaxing for 35 seconds...
Trimming & blowing the garden into the fall...
Bringing the 7 wines in their respective carboys to the garden...
Aggressive fermentation * Too much stuff * No empty space in the carboy...
The Season of 2021 - we did 7 different wines - but only bottled 3 of them.
Each carboy yielded about 20 bottles of wine. So I was left with 60 bottles of wine! I gave some to my Friends, I used some for cooking (plumski) and some for drinking (sweet grapes).Only now - 3 years later in September 2024 - I am running out of wine,
and will be bottling the 4 remaining wines this fall. Next film is coming up this Fall 2024...
Priest Felix is visiting from POLISH MAFIA * Tasting wine...

Solsbury Hill * Song by Peter Gabriel
Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing, stretching every nerve
I had to listen, had no choice
did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going "Boom-boom-boom"
"Son, " he said
"Grab your things, I've come to take you home"
Hey, back home
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
'Til I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going "Boom-boom-boom"
"Hey, " he said
"Grab your things, I've come to take you home"
Hey, back home
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I wanna be
And liberty, she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going "Boom-boom-boom"
"Hey, " I said
"You can keep my things, they've come to take me home"
M, I love you forever, there is no changing that.
Everything will be fine.
In waiting for a miracle...

continuation of the film description: (Some) text for subtitles in this film:
There is still lots of juice in the leftover fruit...
Adding mint tea to jabcok to make "JABŁKO-MIĘTA"...
To reverse the curse and return to the original settings...Juice separation by gravity...
Wine for cooking in the jars...Adding cinnamon sticks...
The process of fermentation in winemaking turns fruit juice into an alcoholic beverage. During fermentation, yeasts transform sugars present in the juice into ethanol and carbon dioxide (as a by-product).
Long People's Hair...Coloring the label for plum wine...In waiting for a miracle...

John 2:1-11
New International Version
Jesus Changes Water Into Wine
2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.[b]
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”
They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
