We bottled 20 cases of Boisique last night, with the bottle washing being done the day before. Everyone got 4 cases of pure vino excitement! Boy the Boisique sure tastes good out of a barrel! :-D
We had a double bottling line setup for awhile, which works great, but the second bottler kept failing to keep a siphon. Ray has ordered a nifty 3-bottle filler that will be more sturdy and really speed up bottling. Check it out at: http://www.eckraus.com/RK760.html . We will wait for our next bottling until it arrives. We'll have to work around the arrival of the Chard grapes (expected 9/25) followed by the Viognier grapes, ETA Oct 1. We have a big run of Magnafique to do. It will be close to 30 cases!
