Introduction

As a wine drinker I always wonder what thoughts were going through the winemakers mind while producing what I am drinking. I always think about his or her goal for the wine and whether or not it had been achieved. I think about what problems they faced and how they overcame those problems; as well as their thoughts on the final product. In this vain, I thought it fitting to provide details of our adventure, with photos, details, confessions, insight, and overall summary of what we have done, what we have taken from the experience, and what the future holds for us as winemakers. I hope you enjoy!

March 1st Tasting Notes

Wine…it’s turning into wine!

Chad has been out of town for two and a half weeks and the only attention our wine has received has been a quick top off and a few kind words. When he returned, I knew we needed to have a taste and see what has been happening in that damn barrel.

What a relief! It is beginning to lose that “sour green apple” character and is taking on more of a true wine flavor. It’s beautifully intriguing smell is back and the mouthfeel is getting more full and rounded. It needs more time – don’t get me wrong; but it is headed in the direction that we have all been hoping and praying for. Something brilliant is emerging…
