Bottling day - - -

[rrawhide]

Well, December 6th. our friends from Milla Vineyards, Fresno, Ca called to see if we could come up and help bottle. They had a large project to do for a wine and chocolate promotion going and needed help. Here are some pictures of the bottling:

Corey feeding me bottles; me on 4 spout bottle filler; John on 1000 cork hopper corker; James putting on metal capsules; Bob on capsule spinner;
Mary setting up for labels; Candy applying labels - - -

James and Bob

Candy labeling and Pete boxing

We bottled 225 gallons or 2250 - 375ml bottles of ruby cabernet in about 3.5 hours.

We sure had a rythum going and had a good time.

Lots of fun and looking forward to next time - - -

Joey also gave me 4 cases of 'mystery wine' - - - unlabeled bottles of whatever back to 2004. Some is ok and some we dumped - - - but still fun to try - - - have no idea what they are - - -

later

That's awesome. It looks like everyone had a great time. Winemaking is such a great chance for friends to come together and make some memories. It looks like everyone was having a great time, with all those smiles.
