			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday marked the completion of the rough filtration of all our wines from the cold stability process.<br />
This year, about 7,000 gallons passed through the filter, and 8,000 gallons were moved (1k of reds were just racked and not filtered, which constitutes the majority of the work; detartrating tanks!</p>
<p>Everything went quite well.  One major note I wanted to make: a 1.5&#8243; triclover &#8220;T&#8221; placed at the intake of the filter greatly aided the process several ways:</p>
<ol>
Pump Priming</ol>
<ol>
Bypass filter to fill dosing tank or place lees in dosing tank</ol>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently, I got in trouble on a <a title="Websiteguru.com" href="http://www.websiteguru.com/index.php?PHPSESSID=6d20a4ce2f0e8051044a9d4d2dd491d1&#038;topic=248.0">discussion forum</a> for starting a thread with this title. Actually, the way that others ended up interpreting the situation, it was Sean who got in trouble. I would have rather it be. Not because I&#8217;m some kind of martyr, but because after thinking about this long and hard, I think he was probably more correct than me. But my first intentions were good ones, and I did think I was staying within the rules. However, by definition, someone misconstrued my intentions and therefore, by definition (DO NOT discuss anything that can be even remotely construed as political or religious talk. ) I broke the rules. I can only think that my side was sided with because of the good, no great, joke that was included!</p>
<p>So anyway, here&#8217;s why I didn&#8217;t feel that my subject was religious, but simply philosophical: The event that correlates with the time posted in the subject line is an astronomical event. There&#8217;s some serious celestial alignment about to happen in less than five years, and it was first known to be noticed by the Maya people quite some time ago. That some modern Zealots have taken this under their wing to be Armageddon is their own business. Some of those same people would be just as ready to claim that any particular rainstorm is a deliberate Godsend, especially if it does damage to their home. But does that make a rainstorm into a religious subject. Not in my book.  Consequently those same people tend to &#8220;thank the Lord&#8221; for saving them, instead of bitching at him for tearing their house down in the first place. Mind you I do neither of those actions.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve invited the participants and viewers of the forum to this thread on my site* , as I am not in fear of a discussion of a very interesting event that might be considered to be religious by some.</p>
<p>You, of course, are invited to comment or ignore, but I thought my explanation was more appropriately place in my own space.</p>
<p>*which  by the way, involves a whole other mixed bag of emotions&#8230; I&#8217;ve never invited anyone here except winemakers or perl writers; the winemakers most likely did not recognize this as the default template of wordpress, an I&#8217;m pretty sure the perl geeks don&#8217;t care!  But I did build a template for our main site, and have always been a bit more focused on content then glitz.  But perhaps I should be more embarrassed about my scant content!  But hey, I&#8217;ve had wine to make!</p>
