Wine Update



Our sixth month wine update. The weekend before the super bowl Lori and I went to check on our wine. The purpose of this visit was to "rack" the wine. Racking is just a term to remove the wine from the barrel and clean the barrel of all the sediment that is formed in the wine process (ex: dead yeast cells) Since there are so many barrels and too little time, the facility demonstrated the racking process with random barrels and we were told if we found our specific barrel that we could take a little taste. In the pictures take notice of the happy faces of the tasters! So, now we are anxiously awaiting our next visit in August or September when we will bottle and label the finished product. Stay tuned
