If you are curious to learn/see more, I have lots of pictures uploaded onto our flickr.com site. Once on flickr.com, do an advanced search for "crushpadwine". I just created a new set of photos that takes you through the process from start to finish...from vine to bottle! And if you are interested in getting in touch with our online winemaking community, check out www.crushnet.com. Most of all, have fun with it!

I've always fantasized about making my own wine as well as creating the label from the wine going into the bottle. What do you think?

Talk about Slow Grapes we are still harvesting and it's nearly the middle of November. But all's far in love and wine. Ever interested in making your own vintage, check out www.crushpadwine.com.

Sondra: Tasting Simplified

Well the genius of the yin and yang comes from the 'divine designer' and aren't we lucky that people like Tim are uncovering that for us.

Tracey, indeed I captured the 'Heart of your wine' with a microscope and it was a delightful surprise. There's another view of it at http://www.sondrabarrett.com/gallery.html. I love your wines.

Did you really capture that image of Quintessa wine under a microscope. It is beautiful. At Quintessa we do really pour our heart and soul into the wine...we've just never seen the fruits of our labor portrayed in such a visual way! Thank you for sharing this image.

Granny Grape: BV Georges de Latour Struts its Stuff

This is a blog that looks at the 'inner life' of wine using the microscopic portraits of wine. Sounds strange EXCEPT this inner look gives us some clues to the structure and tasting experience of wine.

Besides that it gives me talking points to discuss wine, life, ideas on language and wine, and the mystical qualities. And who would have thought the inside look of wine would show such beauty?

Jennifer Andrews: WINE SEX? Do wines have a gender?

I don't know how this works. It would be helpful to the neophyte blog reader/commenter to have directions. Mayber they are here somewhere and I don't see them. I wanted to ask which wines were pictured in the feminine/masculine discussion and how you characterized each one. I'm looking at the possible use of blogging for the Center for Attitudinal Healing website and wondered about how hard it is to do, technically, and how much response there is to it. This is GORGEOUS AND PROVOCATIVE!

Sondra: The King of Wines

Yes, the rich soil around Inglenook and John Daniel built the cache for California Cabs - I in fact was fortunate to have been part of a wonderful tasting at the old Inglenook of 44 years of the their cask cabs dating to 1941.... many still were holding their own and I've got 'the pictures' to show their vitality.

Thanks Ben.

Ben Bicais: The King of Wines

Though an historical case could be made for Zinfandel, I agree that especially in California, Cab has to be considered king. I would add John Daniel Jr. of Inglenook to Georges de Latour and Andre Tchelistcheff of BV as the individuals who really caused Cab to take off in California. A couple other regional candidates for king might be Nebbiolo in Piedmont (particularly Barolo), and Tempranillo from Spain.
