The Barolo is on the right and the Gewurtz is in the middle and the
Raspberry is getting transferred into a bucket with spigot to ease
bottling.
 
Wade, your Gewurtz looks awesome! Did you filter that? If you didn't, you have achieved incredible clarity.
 
Looking might fine wade...How's that rasberry. If it's half as good as it looks you have got a winner
 
Dean, if you look at the bottom of the carboy of Gewurtz you can see
the sediment from clearing. This will be the first and last wine that
will not bulk age as I have to get everything out of my basement and I
dont feel safe carrying that carboy up 2 flights of stairs where my son
who could and will get into it so its getting bottled on its due date
instead of bulk aging.

Thanks everyone and pictures will follow soon.

The flash kind of makes the lettering hidden but what the hay!

Nice...now your going to let all of these wines bottle age until your basement is finished...right???


Then a photo of your wine room with ALL of them on a new wine rack...right???
 
Thats the Plan. One small room unheated with the wineracks and the
water filters and the water holding tank and the Breaker box. One
decent sized room for all the winemaking. One big room for our
temporary master bedroom for a few years until I do the addition off
the back of the house for our permanent bedroom and another room for my
woodworking shop.
 
Just had a bottle last night of the raspberry we made this year...Was alot stronger tasting than I thought ..It was good but I think a little more time will do nice.....
