It’s grape harvest time in Italy
Wine and truffles, I know it hasn't much to do with our Lugers, but like Lugers for us these are among the best pleasures in life!
Prosit! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ZmT0NdXS_M

It's finished in the Finger Lakes region of NY State. We anticipate making some snowballs fairly soon.
I had a friend who owned one of the many small wineries around here. He was very frugal. After the regular pickers had departed, and the leaves were off--revealing what was left, he'd glean the vines for leftover grapes, press everything, and wind up with a blend to ferment that he called November Harvest. I don't know if his successor still makes it, but it was a great dessert wine because the grapes had by that time developed every bit of sugar they possibly could.

Beautiful video, and wonderful harvest...
This brought to mind a BBC newsreel filmed years ago of the spaghetti harvest at the Swiss / Italian border region: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVo_wkxH9dU

Actually in about 60 years I'd never seen anybody hanging the "spaghetti"on threes to dry!!  My wife sometimes makes fresh pasta and after I know that she dries it on some sort of wooden thing like the one of the picture.
