The first racking of the reds will be Saturday, Jan 21st between 10:00 and 2:00. Come view from our teaching and tasting balcony. Taste some wines while you are here!

Several have asked… what exactly is “racking”?

Anytime wine is moved from one vessel to another it is refered to as ”racking”. Racking separates the wine from the lees, or sediment that has resulted from fermentation. It aides in continuing the fermentation process and prevents “off” flavors from occurring.
