Thank you all for the warm welcome.
MiBor:
Thank you for the warm welcome! My first harvest was a small batch from our
Capri Vineyards in Sonoma County. We produced a Pinot Noir, and I learned the importance of closely monitoring brick levels and temperature fluctuations during fermentation. One lesson was not to rush the process – patience is key, especially with Pinot. I'm also tracking CO2 concentration as part of the process, which has been valuable.

Thanks for the welcome! At
ReCoop Barrels, we offer affordable barrels by re-toasting previously used barrels. It's a sustainable alternative to buying new, maintaining the oak character while reducing costs. This allows winemakers to save money without compromising quality.

Appreciate the welcome! Great to connect with a fellow Pinot Noir winemaker nearby. Mendocino produces some fantastic wines! I'm looking forward to exchanging knowledge with someone in the same region.
Christopher Anderson:
