DeMarco/McGarr Vineyard

Kristen and I both belong to Living Social, a service that emails one deeply discounted deal each day to use at local businesses. When the deal of the day was for a local micro-winery where you make and bottle your own wine, we couldn't pass it up! Back in May, Kristen, Chuck, Frank, and I had our tasting session at Carafe Wine Makers where we selected the wine we wanted to make. Since it's a mirco-winery, they purchase grape juice from vineyards all over the world and then we do the rest! We decided to make a Bergamais (red wine) and did everything from adding the water to mixing in the yeast and adding the oak chips. Our wine has been in the fermentation process for about 5 weeks and tomorrow we go back to bottle our 30 bottles. We'll also get to add our own labels but haven't quite come up with a catchy name yet.
