Bottling 2011: Done and dusted.

The swirling mass of 2009 Cabernet franc, in the above photo, is now contentedly idling in antique green Bordeaux bottles. A mini bottling event held today in Vinoland, and amiably assisted by Family OTW, was the last such event of this year.
It's a good feeling to have all of the wines from 2009 out of the barrels and into the bottles. Now, let's get ready for harvest...whenever that may be.

I want to meet the gypsy who'll read that (superb) photo like tea leaves.

I predict Scotland will eat a giant a butterfly sometime soon.

I enjoyed the 2009 harvest and now after bottling it I'll get to drink it...how good is that?

That picture would make for a great label Vinogirrrll.

That pattern would make a great shirt and agree with Lord Roby - a great label

Ooh yes. Definitely make it a label. I'd definitely but it after this... http://morallacuna.blogspot.com/2011/08/yvon-metras-fleurie-le-printemps.html

Cesar: Speaking of cold - do butterflies venture up into Scotland?

Thud: Wish you were going to be here for this harvest - whenever it'll be!

LR: I'd have Liverbirds on my label :)

ALW: It would make a great blouse!

Cesar: Don't have to be a girl to appreciate a nice label...or flower.
