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!

Oct and Nov 2009

So October treated us really well here at 2426 West. So many things went perfectly and in our favor. The biggest and best news of all - Chad and Carissa got engaged on their 8th Anniversary! That's right folks, ENGAGED. It had been coming for some time and I have to give it to Chad for having a totally unique and very romantic way of proposing. Want the details? Hit them up. They have been trying like heck to set a date for the Weddin which will take part in Westcliffe, CO in Aug/Sept/Oct of 2010. Stay tuned for the details.
We have been searching for wine bottles only to be shattered by shipping prices. Where are the fucking glass companies around these parts? Anyone, Anyone. We may have to just suck it up and pay three times more for shipping than the bottles themselves. I know, ridiculous.
Here it is the day before Thanksgiving and we are proud to say the latest venture is now a member of AHA and is registered with the Secretary of State! Curious much? Well we aren't letting that beast of a cat out of its bag yet. Just be prepared to drink and drink and drink. We are gonna need all of your help on this one. Happy Turkey my friends!
