We're readying the small barn to get licensed as a winery here on the ranch. Step one is emptying it of all the stuff that I've stored there over the last 10+ years. Among the things I've got in there is a barrel of the last bit of Syrah that I made as an amateur winemaker in 2003!
Today, I'll clear the area around the barrel to make a working space. I'll rent a corker this afternoon. Tomorrow I'll have some help and we'll crank out about 24-25 cases. The wine will need to rest for a couple of months after bottling. Since it's is unbonded, we can't sell it. I guess we'll just have to enjoy it ourselves - darn. I'm sure I'll need some help finishing it off...
So if you're around near the end of summer, do give a call and help me, please!
