This weekend was "bottling weekend." Here is one of the final products:

That's right, the Villa Sophia, 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon "Gruccia" has found its way, with a little labor on my part, out of the carboys and into the bottle. This year's wine is called "gruccia."

Promising :) More drinkable than my last batch, that's for sure.

I am excited to see a posting here on TQP that I can understand! :-)
I am quite intrigued by your enological efforts. One of these days I'll have to take the plunge myself.
