I did some bottling yesterday; it was the first time I ever bottled more than one batch at a time. After getting all 90 bottles cleaned and sterilized it wasn't so bad.
Here are some before and after photos that I wanted to share. The wines are (Front to Back/L-R): Muller-Thurgau, White Zinfandel and Argentine Malbec. This isdone in my basement (yes, that's my poker table). I havedecided to put in granite countertops and a big sink down here. This little bar sink just doesn't make it! I will have to build a cabinet under the counter to support the weight of the granite top, and I think I'm going to move the wall cabinet higher up to give me more room. I'm going to put in some kind of tiled backsplash (maybe tumbled Travertine). When I built all this 16 years ago I had absolutely no idea that making wine was in my future.
I'll post some pictures as I get things done so maybe I can get some ideas from you creative folks out there...
