During the winery tour, I experimented to go off the beathen path... so I get lost in the huge cellar. Fortunately I reduce the risks to die of thirst with all these barrels.
A good dark cellar with a constant temperature/humidity and high quality wooden casks is the keysuccess to produce an fine wine. Each cask serve during a limited period of time (2 or 3 years) before to be changed. The wine could also be conservated in inox tankers, but it is less esthetic and charming for a brewery tour I suppose...
By chance, the exit seems not too far away to take a cask discreetly... Challenging?

I love the Zinfandels of California too! I also am a big fan of the Swiss army knife but for opening a bottle of 'Zin' there exist better options... | aussiedoug Sun Nov 6, 2005 09:15 UTC
We enjoyed our day trip to the Napa Valley & bought home a couple of bottles. Shame that at some wineries you have to pay by the glass to taste wines. Don't have to do that anywhere in Australia. | Callavetta Thu Aug 11, 2005 16:08 UTC
Hi Patrick, Glad to see you visited California... but now, after seeing your Swiss pages, you must come to Colorado! | danitsja_nl Fri Jan 28, 2005 09:54 UTC
