Nipntuck Friday Photo: Bottling Wine in Napa
March 30th, 2012
Here I am lending a hand to box up our 2011 vintage of Kitchak Cellars Scherzo during my responsibilities on the bottling line at the winery in Napa Valley last weekend.
We also bottled the 2009 Concerto. The grapes for our signature red wine are 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2009 vintage had an excellent growing season, characterized by warm sunny days and cool nights.
The grapes were hand picked before dawn on September 25 and October 13, 2009. Concerto has been aging in new French Oak barrels for 30 months and after bottling, it will spend another year resting in the cellar. It will finally be released next March. Patience is definitely a virtue when you are involved in the craft of making fine wine.

The cause is often due to pregnancy and/or fluctuations of weight and many patients turn to tummy tuck surgery to give them a more natural appearance.
