Day 9.....August 15, 2013. With Meredith and Gautham

We are trying to figure out what to with 100+ pounds of cleaned salmon.  For now, we have packaged and frozen most.  Will make some recipes to take with us when we leave.  Meredith also cured the roe so that it tastes just like ikura that you get at a sushi restaurant.  Gautham is going to see if they can go into business with Captain Dave, as currently he and most fishermen just throw it away.

One of Meredith's clients is a winery owner.  She prepares food for wine pairing events there.  Today, we visited the winery and sampled some excellent wines with the assistant winemaker.  Then we visited the owner's  private wine-tasting room and the work area.  The owner is a pilot so it has an airplane decor (including a real airplane) inside.  We tasted wines that are still in their stainless steel vats, waiting to

be bottled.  Yum!  The winery is outside of Ann Arbor.  It and all the houses around it share an airstrip, and their garages attached to their homes are actually hangars.  

We came home for dinner.....grilled salmon, of course!
