I love the feeling of the wine finally in the bottle. So much work to get the wine and bottles, and people and my sh*t together! Good job!
 
Don't you just love bottling day, So many bottles not enough days to drink them. Enjoy, Bakervinyard
 
All I can think of is man what a bunch of work. Best part of it is no more bottles to clean for a while now. Arne.
 
Wow, nice work. Wish I was closer to Florida.
 
A good day bottling is topped only by a better day emptying!!!! "Rack 'em Dano"!!

Actually, for me, bottling days are much less social than crush. It is a much more "heads-down" activity and I view bottling as freeing up equipment for the next crush.

Its not that I do not enjoy bottling, it is just that I enjoy crush so much more.

John, I read your thread on your crush last week. I enjoyed it so much. I had my own mini crush for the first time. When I was going to the LHBS I was like a kid going to the toy store. Getting ready to press them this Friday. Bakervinyard
 
...follow up pics with Labels firmly in place coming soon??? Cause I KNOW you KNOW a good label guy!

Nice job, someone's got a few carboys to refill.

Ha ha! Yes... there will be pictures of the labeled bottles. Most of them I already know what designs I'm going with, but I've got some ideas for the rest of them. A liberal use of the word "varietal" since most aren't grape wines, but we bottled a pinot grigio, cab/shiraz blend, zinfandel port, sweet potato, pineapple, 2 meads, mixed fruit, and a faux sherry
 
Thanks for all the comments! I have to agree that bottling isn't the most enjoyable part of wine making, but there is that sense of accomplishment knowing "OK...I'm done!" Most have been bulk aging for a while, so we'll only have to wait a year or so to really start enjoying them. Now that we have so much we can settle down our production to a more sustainable level.

Great news bakervinyard! Sounds like you are starting some traditons. I must make you an honorary Hungarian!
