3,600 Bottles and 4,000 Corks

It looks like I will be bottling my 2006 Syrah in a couple of weeks and everything is finally coming together. My bottles are here and ready to be filled. Seeing the six palettes of them stacked in the corner of the winery is finally making the whole idea of having wine to sell very real (see photo above). I also received my corks and as you can see from the picture they are very cool looking. The octopus printed on the cork looks fantastic and I think they will be a great addition to the final bottle of wine. A nice little surprise when you pull the cork!




The next step will be printing the labels. I can’t print until I get approval from the Feds, but I’m hoping to hear from them today. If all goes well I will be printing labels on Thursday and then bottling on the 23rd of this month.
