Beautiful Serbia: Part III - Moja Sumadija

One week of our trip to Serbia was spent in an area in central Serbia called Sumadija were both S&M's families are from.   The countryside is absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful place to relax .  We split our time between a small vacation town called Kosjeric and the village of Misevic up in the hills.  We visited family, ate lots of food (just can't seem to, nor want to, get away from it), made wine, visited a monastery and went to the wax museum in Jagodina city (saw Divac, Milosevic and Tito ... WHAT!!), went for walks and played some tennis.  Life is tough :)  We'll let pictures do the talking now. Here are a few and follow the link for more (password: relax):  http://photobucket.com/moja_sumadija.

First on making wine:


First you buy the grapes
Then you go to two guys with an electric machine to crush them and separate the stems (while you eat some grapes and watch from the sidelines)



Then you put the grapes into a big barrel to transport them home

Then you transfer them from the big barrel into these smaller barrels, add the yeast and sugar and let it sit for at least 10 days.  We hope it's good!!
 And here are some scenery shots:
