Bottling Day again

Wednesday was bottling day. We didn't bottle any of our own wines. We make wine for a few select individuals. This day we were bottling for Roger. Roger is a great guy from N. California. He has a nice vineyard that produces some fine wine. He is a happy guy and we always look forward to his visits. We bottled several of his wines. Everything went great, the day was a success.

We have our 2006 Chardonnay (non-organic) preview this week. Preview means I was too lazy to put it on our full wine menu. I will be adding it to our website soon. We also have the 2007 Muller-Thurgau released now. It is a delightful wine. Come try both of these wines this weekend through Thursday the 17th.

The labels....they are moving along. I have revised proofs sitting in front of me. Ben, the label guy, is coming to talk to me this evening. Next week, ttb approvals! My fingers are crossed. After that, off to print. I will take myself out if I have to to celebrate them being done.

Wines are still moving in and out of the cold room and having cream of tartar added. This process is labor and time intensive. When they get those done it will be time to start on the meads.

Harvest will be here before we know it. Next month will be clean up. All the junk that gets stored on the crushpad will be moved and everything will be organized. I bet Rob is already thinking about it.
