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!

Bottling Time






A quick peek at the latest. Note: we have had our hands full with Black Shirt Brewing Co really taking off, so the wine has had to take a back seat to beer. In all honesty, it's probably exactly what it's needed. In any case, we finally managed to get the 2008 Merlot into glass - 12 cases of bottles and then 30 gallons of carboys to blend with the 2009 Cab Franc. We used zorks - a new closure that is rated for longer storage than traditional or synthetic cork and gives us the confidence that one day we will be able to drink this wine with our grand kids!
