A great bottle of wine helps encapsulate the special moments in life. What better way to bring many great experiences together than the label on your artisan wine. In this case I capture a special place in our Italian home. A wet Tuscan weekend where you can get wonderful second hand books. The wine made from my favorite Nebbiolo grape and bottled on my birthday as a reminder of the blessing of 51 years of life. “Cinquantuno” to be shared and experienced throughout the year. Alla Salute!
If you ever wondered if your love of wine could get any greater I am here to tell you that it definately can. Making wine is the ultimate experience to advance your understanding and love of wine. The beautiful smell of the grape, The yeast filling your ears with the music of fermentation, The transformation that occurs as the wine clears itself into some of natures most incredible colors, and most of all the timeless experience of bottling your own wine.
Moving to this deeper appreciation of wine begins with selecting a cool peacful area in your home where you will hone your craft. The wine making equipment is a manageable investment of both space and cost. If you aspire to become an artisan wine maker but don’t know where to begin or have a question then please follow along for some pics, tips and maybe even a flick.
We dream, we do, we commit, we live.
La passione è per la vite. Il vino è il dono. Aiutare l’uva a diventare un vino è l’arte
The passion is for the vine. The wine is the gift. Helping the grape become a wine is the art.
“Experiential relaxation”
“Cinquantuno”. Fifty-one in a bottle. A Nebbiolo beauty.
“Time waits for no one. Make time to do the things you love.”
A wine assembled with great care holds both the beauty and flaws of nature and the artisan. Visible and Invisible to the eye.
Vintner note: “Your art in a bottle. Capture the story with a great label.”
