Ready for Bottling

The barrels were pumped into a 48-gallon tub to feed the bottler. Carboys were dumped by hand. I don't remember rinsing out the equipment in between batches, so some of the cab/syrah blend became a cab/syrah/pinot blend. We didn't bother to pick out those bottles, on the theory that it all ends up in the same place. (Bottom's up!)
