Michele and Tom stopped by to borrow the bottling equipment as they get ready to bottle their 07 Wood River Cabernet and Chardonnay.  They have the:

 

- Bottle Washer

- Bottle Filler

- Bottle Tree and Meta Washer

- Corker

- A 1G platypus

 

Their Cabernet has been aged in a 15G Hungarian barrel now for 8-9 months, plus they added some French Oak Dominoes to get some more oak flavors about a month ago.  We still "owed" them another gallon of wine from the 2007 grapes and Lee and I sent them home w/ some Malbec and about 500ml of Petit Verdot to add to their blend.  That will make their blend be roughly:

 

89% Cabernet

5% Merlot

5% Malbec

1% Petit Verdot

 

Sounds yummy! Looking forward to tasting it. :-D
