We’ll be bottling about 27 cases of Viognier. Hopefully, we’ll have some best practices we’ve gleaned from our previous bottlings, so while we’ll have a skeleton crew, hopefully it won’t take too long. I’m thinking one person each:

• prepping bottles for bottler; cleaning corked bottles and hefting upstairs
• running the bottler
• corking
• putting on main labels upstairs
• putting on top labels upstairs

Please indicate in the comments if you can come a little early to help set up – I need 1 person.

• Need 5 people total (including Matt)
• Assume 2.5 hours of bottling mania
• Bring a mask you’re comfortable wearing for that long
• Bring rubber boots and clothing you can get a little winey

COVID-19 NOTE: to stay as safe as possible, we’ll try our best to follow established guidelines: wear masks throughout; try to stay 6′ apart whenever possible; use as few people as possible; require anyone with a fever, cough, shortness of breath, or sudden loss of sense of smell, to stay home. We’ll keep the back door open for a little air circulation. Still, there are no guarantees: if you have any reservations (totally understandable), please don’t sign up for this event.
