You could potentially get some good vinegar from those wines. To experiment with making vinegar, just pop the cork and leave it in a dark warm place for a couple weeks then taste it. If it doesn't taste too acidic, let it sit longer. You could then sell the vinegar to local restaurants or keep it for when the resort opens.

Definitely a lesson you should know by. But, having a ranch, resort, a house on a hill, and pneumatic tires on your equipment.... You should know that having a tire plug kit with extra plugs will ensure your equipment that is bound to catch leaks will be field repairable. If you have enough plugs, you can fix 1 inch slashes in sidewalls. A small puncture on a tractor can be plugged easily.

They are valuable due to their age and rarity and investment value even though the wine can never be drunk as it's basically battery acid. So, keep those bottles for a 1,000 years or so and your descendants will be rich!

I was rummaging around and found 2 bottles of my favorite wine and checked the dates. 1 was 8 years old and the other was 5. They were NOT stored properly. Standing and kept between 60-70 degrees. Never meant to keep them for long, just forgot about them. 8 year old was BAD. 5 year old, not bad. I'm only commenting because without watching this video I wouldn't have known they go bad AND I never would have found them till it was way too late and tried to drink them. In other words, Thank you Matt for this video.

I’m thinking about you repurposing all the spent wood on a giant fire pit and if you put in a random place out of sight, use a loader to fill up “PEARL” for giant fire nights during the rainy/cold season, it would be a cool gathering place for the campers and guests. Just a basic pole barn to cover it from the rain and weather so it’s usable as firewood. Even if there are nails/screws etc… you can go through with a pole magnet to pull them out every once and again to prevent issues. Maybe like a fire ring with a ring inside so that when it’s all aflame it is an actual ring of fire - what a cool shot from a drone that would be, especially good B-roll for advertising.
