Wise Acres Winery

Chuck was in town and stopped in for some barrel tastings. We went through all the non-bottled wines and found them all to be quite tasty… except for two. Sadly we had to sacrificed five gallons of 2006 Gardner’s Block Merlot to our homies. Interestingly, the 2007 GB Merlot seems to have also gone off. I suspect we will be pissing off my neighbor by pouring it into the gutter soon. Yes, Matt did make a comment on the odorousity under his truck.

The silver lining was that we came across five gallons of wine labeled “2006 GB Cab.”  But wait, you say, didn’t you guys already bottle that and isn’t it delicious right now? WISE observation, we did already bottle that. however, at the time of bottling vegas odds favor we were drinking. At the completion of bottling we had two+ cases of glass left, but remember the wisdom of the bookies. So, at the time, being guys we thought, “hmm, that’s weird.” And left it at that.

In fact, we forgot to bottle an entire five gallon keg. What a great surprise.

So either we will bottle it when Chuck comes back up near Christmas along with the Syrah (Joe, you free 12/22?) or I will jut bottle it myself. PLan C: Chuck will forget about it and I will just drink it all out of the keg.
