Bottling

Today we bottled the wine! We put up 3000 bottles of the blonde pinot noir, Lyncurio. It was so much fun! The actual process felt a little like a mix of Chaplin’s Modern World, the episode of I Love Lucy with the chocolate assembly line, and a wild west shootout. We took turns at the various duties; bringing the empty bottles to the bottling area, manning the bottler and corker, and placing the full and corked bottles in pallets to settle.

 

The Lyncurio is special because it is a white wine made from grapes typically used for red wine.

 Bottling!

 

 As most of you know, I don’t generally care for whites, but this one is amazing! A beautiful bouquet; with banana, summer fruits, a hint of almond and almost butter or cream. (My underdeveloped palate only got the banana, but you have to start somewhere!)

 

 Finito!
