In-Law Winery Bottles first batches

[lieu]

We finally got to our first bottling. The Valpol. is the only label that I have gotten a chance to make as of yet.

Now I have a few empty carboys that I need to get somethng in before that shrivel up.

Nice job, Bruce. What are the other two "flavors" other than the Valpo?

It is amazing how fast the wine will disappear!!!

Looks good enough to drink!!

 

[Waldo]

The White is a RJS VdV Pinot Grigio and on the far right is a RJS VdV Chilean Cab/Merlot

Great looking wine and packaging.

Absolutely beautiful. I would like to see a close up of the label. It was hard to see with the light reflecting on it. It looks really super nice and that why I'd like to see what it says. Ecellent job!

Hey lieu taking a second look I just noticed you used those zork corks. I've never seen them in person. How did you like them and what enticed you to use them.

 

[ibglowin]

Looking good! Would definitely like to know how you like the zorks.

 

[Scott B]

Very nice

Thanks Guys, I have been looking forward to getting this far along in the process and Ill tell you, boy does it feel good

Hey Dan
It was my father in law that really wanted to try them. We were told about them by someone that owned a Crosby and Baker so he wanted to try them.
They were really easy to put in. They just push right on with the heel of your hand. Kind of makes me a little nervous but we were told they will be fine.
I will be using corks from now on but not sure what my father in law will be doing.
I am probably going to be asking for a floor corker for my bday and if thats the case Im sure he will be corking and not zorking.
Hey Mike
I think the real test will be in a few months from now then a few more months to see if they really do protect the wine. I have no reason not to think they will BUT.

 

[Runningwolf]

So what you're saying some people in your family are corkers and the others are just zorkers. LOL

 

[ibglowin]

Seems like they would do a good job. Keep us posted on how if you see any difference between the zorks and corks!

 

[lieu]

LOL
Hey Dan,
That was a good one. Made me laugh

I cant seem to take a pic of the bottles without getting the flash. I need to shut the flash off but cant figure this darn camera out. I am going to have to ask the BBL since its her camera. I did take a few so Ill post them anyway. ok guess I have to make a new post to show pics. (because I dont have time to figure out how to post pics on this thread.)
