Beaumont Cellars bottled their 2014 grapes last week, including 100+ cases of Cabernet Franc from our vineyard! It's the first of our grapes to make it to market. We planted in 2009. Seven years later we have wine in the bottle ready for release.
Pete Beaumont invited me to come up to the winery in Quincy to help the crew with the bottling. They bring in this mobile bottling unit with a production line - filling, corking, capsuling, labeling and boxing - all in this self-contained truck.
I believe we bottled a total of 1,800 cases (all varieties) in about ten hours.
Pete's a very fine winemaker and we're fortunate to have our grapes in good hands.
It will be fun to see the tasting notes and the response this wine gets from consumers and wine media. We'll get a few cases and share with all the friends who've shared this journey with us.
