Filtering and Bottling the week of Feb. 13-16, 2008


Thursday and Friday we had to prepare the 4 wines to be bottled on Saturday. We filtered the 2007 Viognier, 2006 Las Brisas Pinot noir, and the 2006 Alegria Syrah on Thursday, with the help of one of our faithful volunteers. Friday, we filtered the 2006 Trenton Station Reserve. Things went smoothly, I think we are learning from our past mistakes.
Saturday we had an early start to get ready for bottling. Volunteers arrived at 7:30am, had a bit of coffee and a snack then they had to get trained on their various positions in the truck. We bottled 1063 cases in 3 1/2 hours. Not bad! Thanks again to all of the volunteers, we really appreciate your help. Cheers to you!!!!
