We got 3 new tanks today and it feels like we made the big time or hit the lottery. These beauties are twice the capacity of our old tanks but take up the same amount of space. We will use them for our 3 most popular varietals (Chambourcin, Vidal Blanc and Concord) which will reach their production capacity this year. Chris likes the little sample spout on each tank which allows you to get a glass of wine to "check for quality". I'm a little worried about the number of sample glasses that this will allow him to take without being monitored.
The new tanks are just what we need to boost our production to the next level. We have now been making wine for 3 years and each year we have doubled our production and sold out. This year looks like we are going to sell out again and with the help of these 3 tanks we should be able to double production one more time. Then we will have to buy more grapevines if we want to get any more tanks. We will just have to see where it all goes.
