The Winery

I've been meaning to post this for over a week but I've been busy and also lazy. I finished my new workbench for the workshop downstairs. I believe the former one was built before the house and it was starting to fall apart. I was able to salvage a lot of the wood from it to build the new one though. Additionally, Anne's office moved and they were getting rid of three drawing cases, which have now been repurposed to store wine bottles (formerly they held rolled up architectural drawings). The cellar has the ability to hold over 200 bottles of wine. Additionally the three new racks can hold magnums (1.5 litre bottles) if I want.

That's a lot of wine!

In the photo below you can see the three 5 gallon carboys of bulk aging wine. One carboy of Zinfandel and two of Concord. Also most of the racks are empty, I guess I'll need to harvest more bottles and make more wine.
