[Runningwolf]

Gaudet, I'd like to see your wine closets...(2) 6x8 walk-ins, right? LOL

 

[gaudet]

Maybe if I got a reciprocating saw and some more dry wall. Its just two small closets. One for aging and the other for storing equipment. Now the garage has all the bottles and the kegerator and beer equipment. Wife said I should convert the garage, but its too small for me

Looking mighty nice!

 

[drgags]

going to filter my en primeur reisling today, and bottle on sunday...first attempt at both...all my reds are bulk aging as of now....sometime in july will filter and bottle my noble merlot ..... just a side note, the N.Z. Sauv Blanc i recently started smells unbelievably good.....i hope as wine it tastes as good, and i am a red drinker. still waiting on my racks, company says there was a mahogany shortage...so we will see. post some pics of my processes earlier mentioned, so check back.

 

[Bartman]

Sometimes it's hard to find fresh mahogany, and you certainly don't want mahogany that's more than a couple days old. Duh!

 

[Wade E]

I work with wood everyday including Mahogany and havent had a problem getting it but must be different up your way which is usually the opposite.

 

[Waldo]

Going to be a great cellar...
Just looked like the entrance door needed a little more something to define the name you gave your winery
