A 2004 Spring Friday the guys took off to Napa early.  The ladies joined later for a tour of Niebaum Coppola hosted by Tracy Parker.  Here we are in front of the Niebaum Coppola Vineyards.  Formerly Inglenook. 

 

2003 Harvest and Crush,   Pressing

First Bottling of 2002 

2003 Topping wine Selection Party

2002 Barrel Mix Party

The "barrel mix party" is our annual event to taste the current year's vintage after fermentation to decide how to mix the lots into barrels since the barrel volumes never exactly match the fermenation batch volumes.   Our strategy is to mix the best lots with the best and the worst with the worst to preserve the best.  No mediocrity!
