So with a new wine made from local fresh grapes from the "Land of Enchantment" I decided to create a spin off winery from the "Chateau" wines made from kits. This will make it easier down the road to identify kit wines from fresh grape wines in the winery/cellar.

Ladies and Gents I am proud to present to you for the first time here or anywhere else for that matter......

Can't seem to get robots and wine to go together all that well on a label!

The Geek crowd would love it I'm sure.

Might change out the pic from year to year to easily define the year at a glance.

Cool but no robots? Are you going to continue to use the same label and just change the name to protect the image?

please let me know what you put in it each time and for how long each time
 
The suggested break in for a small barrel (5 or 6 gallon) is

2 Weeks - 1st batch
4 Weeks - 2nd batch
8 Weeks - 3rd batch
16 Weeks - 4th batch
32 Weeks - 5th batch

I think after the 5th batch it should be neutral.


My plan is:

Fresh grape Merlot - 2 Weeks (completed)

Fresh grape Cabernet Sauvignon - 4 Weeks (in progress)

CC Showcase Rosso Fortisimo - 8 weeks

MM AJ Petite Sirah - 16 weeks

CC Showcase Red Mountain Cab - 32 weeks

Double batch La Bodega Port - 1 year
