You must get that talent at attracting viewers to headlines from your daughter.
Thanks for revising!
Those were bottled today. Here’s a photo of 3 of the Pinot Noir (Madzia’s was also bottled. These are the wines I took home).
Last bottling day at the Barneveld facility. ![]()
I’m gonna miss bottling days with this crowd. I’ll see a few of them at Treasure Island Wines. It’s always been a pleasure bottling for Ed.
Berserkers present are me, Ed, Ken Zinns, Wes Barton and Andrew Taylor. Ken took the photo so he’s not in it.
Thanks for starting this thread, Larry, and of course for being one of my go to bottlers these past several years. Monty Paulsen is coming by in a couple of hours to pick up some Tbins. I’ll show him the small warehouse I’m keeping across the street to see if his small bottling line would fit inside there. Bottling in SF might not be finished just yet.
I also wanted to personally send each of you who had nice things to say an email this summer, but of course with closing down the facility, I never had any time. So, Larry, Todd, Nate, Ken, Frank, Steve, Mike P, Chris, Eric, Michael, Mike G, Scott, Andrew, Wes and of course, the unforgettable Mel, thank you very much.
For those waiting for their Monopole or VinDependence Day wines, they were indeed bottled yesterday with the crew in the photo above. I still need the next 5 days to move out of the facility, and that will be all encompassing. Today was actually an August West harvest day, so that was a nice break from moving. I’ll finally get to start shipping, I’m hoping and guessing, on October 6.
Cheers!!!
