Transferring Reds to Barrels


Tonight we worked to transfer all of our reds to barrels.  Wow, our inventory of french oak barrels has really expanded.  We went from 4 barrels 3 years ago to 15 barrels this year and we still have 2 barrels worth of Chambourcin that we don't have enough oak barrels for.  We had a lot of fun working in the winery today. Greg got a little carried away when he tied himself to the stainless steel tank.   I was not going to let him loose, but I thought better of leaving him tied to a tank all night.  Tomorrow we will begin sweetening and bottling our. Fruit wines.
