2001 Bottled both my wines

On Saturday, we bottled my 2001 wines:

  • 2001 Zinfandel- Teldeschi Vineyard (Dry Creek Valley
  • 2001 Zinfandel- Damas Vineyard (Amador County)
It was great to assemble friends and family to help bottle my "babies". They are tasting very good and I am proud of my first commercial wines. Cynthia Shea, the head chef at Liberty Cafe, was impressed with them and offered to put them on her restaurant's wine list.
Here are some photos showing the overall process- sparging bottles with nitrogen > filling > corking:
