WiredJC Wine Making

[jennymayla]

... Everybody's opinion counts.

Oh we'll just see about that.

okay. The Califonian grapes get ordered toward the end of August (Harvest Kick-off Party). One barrel should yield about 252 bottles. I suggest we make at least two different types (half barrel of one, half barrel of another). The prices should come out to be between $11-12 per bottle, depending on what kind. How do we coordinate a final decision on what types to make? A tasting would be a good start

Saturday June 7th 2-5pm --- Barrel Tasting at Make Wine with Us
930 Newark Ave

No reservations or payment necessary for this event, its sort of like an Open House. We'll be tasting various wines straight from the barrel. They will coordinate a private tasting for those of us who cannot make it on the 7th. Everybody's opinion counts.

I would also like more info if possible

sweet. I don't think we'll be taking home 10 cases each, RB  . That's just how it worked out when their were only two of us. We've now got at least 10-12 people who sound sincerely optimistic about it, so I'm going to post the wine selection and pricing. We'll have to figure how much we want to make (I think at least two cases each, right?) and what type(s). Updates coming soon.

"AG" I hope you like Cab Franc 

Kindelan, silence.

Actually, I just bought a bottle of cab franc this weekend at a winery in Warwick.

I don't think so Kitten, but I would look on the website...

[kitten]

is this organic wine?

[jennymayla]

Count me in.  Burp.

Ag and I did this together and will have a ton of bottles by August this year. Our wine is being made in West Paterson, much less fun than the JC establishment. When I went to taste already made wine to figure out the grapes I was going to order, the wine was DELICIOUS.  It is a ton of fun in JC because they plan regular events for members and not only do we try our wine but we can try the wine of other bottlers! This would be fun to get more than two people involved! Big wine making parties! Yay!

[Neeners]

We're in.

[nikki]

Sure.. I'm in.

[jcpeace]

not sure about quantity or $$....but this sounds like a fun and interesting thing for me to be involved in.......

[MCA™]

Count me in. Will look forward to offering bouteilles de Château WiredJC as prizes at future gatherings.

The price point depends on how much we purchase. I think I spent somewhere around $650 on a quarter barrel (roughly 10 cases) of wine. Once I get an idea of how many people want in, I'll get a group pricing schedule. All in all, it'll come down to how much wine we decide we want to make/bottle/take home

Unfortunately, I do not have the room/proper storage in my apartment to store too many cases, so I can't commit to too many cases.

[skwirrlking]

$650 for 10 cases = $5.42 a bottle. i'm in.



also - I've got the sauce. if someone organizes something, we can drink it.

There are a lot of winos on this site who are still waiting for their Turley from a drunken squirrel

  Teasing.

What's the potential price point on this, I'd be all over this.

[RB]

I am very interested in this. I hope this thread gets a good response. There are a lot of winos on this site who are still waiting for their Turley from a drunken squirrel, so this might fill the void in the meantime.

Would this be on the eastern or on the western end of Newark?

A few of you mentioned you'd be interested in this, but I want to send the call out. If we get a good group together, each person owning equal "shares" in a barrel or two (or three), we could have a great time making wine at Make Wine with US on Newark Ave. Not only would we be making the wine, we'd meet every so often at the facility to sample it as it ages, enjoy dinner parties & events, etc etc etc. With enough group memebers, we'll be able to choose various grapes instead of just one type (at a much more reasonable price). All in all, we'd have a lot more fun, too. Hollah at me, WiredJCers. Anybody up for it? Give the above site a look-see and post a positive response if your interested. If you have questions or you're SURE you want to participate, PM me so I can coordinate everything Time is a factor, people, so let me know
