Weekend Bottling Plans (As much as we have them)

[Greg Friday]

Hi guys,

Ok, I think we have a working plan.  Pete as put in a bottle order, but we still need corks.  I called over to Oak Barrel and Bernie says he has enough corks to sell us some.

Our bottles will show up at Petes brewery, so we need to get them up to Oakland.  I could drive down Saturday morning and get a load, but I think we will need another car or two.  Maybe even trip or two?

On Saturday, we will bottle the SvB first, them move through the Grenche and maybe start with the Roses.  We can finish the rose on Sunday and bottle some of the zin.

Does this sound like a plan?

Greg

[david fryer]

sounds good to me. let me ask chris if i can borrow his van for saturday bottle pick up. --- On Tue, 4/16/13, Greg Friday <gfcoq...@gmail.com> wrote:

what is the update on status of the bottles?

[peter licht]

Alas the bottles didn't ship until today, so they will arrive Monday.  They had to be consolidated from 2 warehouses before they could ship. Cheers, Peter --- On Fri, 4/19/13, david fryer <davf...@yahoo.com> wrote:

I guess that means no bottling this weekend right?

[Greg Friday]

Lets bottle the rose tomorrow!  Dave's gonna get 13+ cases for it.  That will free up some tank space.

looks like we will need: minimum 23 cases clear 8 cases bordeaux green 18 cases burgundy green 49 minimum should go well with our corks! if we want to bring up more, or all, i am sure we can store them at greg's or my house. we need to talk about movement. i can help, but my car can only get 24 cases. how many cases do we have? dave

I might have someone who could deliver these cases to oakland/berkeley on Thursday.  Will there be someone who can receive them?

[david fryer]

i have to work. unless they are delivering after 4 pm. maybe alexis' driveway, if he is home, that is. --- On Mon, 4/29/13, peter licht <peter...@yahoo.com> wrote:

Yeah, unfortunately I won't be around either, I have to be in Menlo Park on Thursday.  Hopefully Alexis will be around...

Hi Peter,

Yes, I'll make sure to be here between 1-2, with a bit of buffer on each end. 

My address is 1624 Martin Luther King Jr, Way in Berkeley. Cross streets Cedar and Virginia. 

I'll give him a couple bottles of 2011. 

What's his name? 

By the way guys, I'm good for Saturday bottling, but my Sunday just got a bit sketchy.

[Greg Friday]

Awesome!

I'm out for Sunday too, but with the new knucklehead 3000 bottler, well be done on Saturday.

Where is the action taking place Saturday?  Dave's?

[david fryer]

yep.

[david fryer]

sounds like a plan. greg could you bring the pump so we can pump it up to the resevoir and get less agitation.

[Will Guyette]

Great!  See everyone tomorrow morning. I'll probably have the daughter in tow again.

Will

[Greg Friday]

Sure, but if we want to pump, we should get a Tri-clover connection to pump it it in bottom.  I think oak barrel has what we are looking for.

[david fryer]

ok if you want. i was just thinking of pumping it in the top.

[Alexis Harte]

I was up vomitting all night with some sort of stomach issue. Came back from LA last ngiht and it may be connected to some fish /egg thing I ate for lunch down there

I'm gogin to do my best to hold my own this AM...hoping is just acute food poisoning.

See you soon

[Greg Friday]

Dudes,

I updated the sheet with the recent $s out.  I also added an area for cases / bottles taken.  I have Will, Barry and I updated.  I need your volumes Dave.  When Alexis and Pete take theirs ill need that too.

I also need the bottle $s Pete has spent.  We are still looking good for under $4/bottle even with what I think Pete has spent for bottles.

Any more thoughts on custom corks?  Knuckle head cellars and the modified grateful dead guy with wine pic.

congratulations boys! i am drinking a zin. i think it could sell for upwards of $20 after cellaring. just think of the next bottling, after a bit more aging! we have finally done it!  how did you find it will? i am ok with printed corks, if they cost = or less.

Yeah, had some last night at a friends house (with an aerator). It was delicious. And it should just get better with cellaring. My wife and friends were impressed. 

Congratulations indeed!

[Greg Friday]

Ok.  Final cost per bottle should be about 3.81/bottle.  Lets just say $4 per bottle to recover all costs and if we sell to other it will go for $5 per bottle.

Got it in the break down.  

I have updated the case totals too.  How much did you take?

Yes SVB is great.  The blend worked well.

Sent from my iPhone

[david fryer]

i still need to know how much alexis and pete want. do you guys want some grenache?  regular or premium?   that SvB in the carboy is still very cloudy! any ideas?

[Alexis Harte]

Hi Guys,

I was sort of assuming we were roughly going off this.

Barring any great changes in projected quantity, this is still my wishlist. If things have changed, I'm happy to recalibrate.

I'm a huge fan of the Zin.

A

[Greg Friday]

Have you tasted it?  It may have gone south.

We could try to cool it.  This could help the haze polymerize and drop out of solution.

[david fryer]

yes but that list didn't represent grenache. do you want any? you want to come over and get your wine anytime soon?

do you think an ice bath would work? or would it need longer refrigeration? no i have not tried it. do you think the particles are too small to be caught in a coffee filter? --- On Mon, 5/13/13, Greg Friday <gfr...@earthlink.net> wrote:

oh, I see , its separate from the Rhone/GSM.

Yes, If its good, I'd love some! Whatever you can spare...

I'd love to pick up this week. When is good for you?

Ice bath would work if it is protein.  If it bacteria that's causing the haze...we're done for.

Coffee filter would probably oxidize more than it would help.
