2023 Charlie’s Choice #31 (75% Barbera, 25% Cabernet)

2023 Charlie’s Choice (75% Barbera, 25% Cabernet)

Join us for a very social & educational experience at Grape Expectations School of Winemaking to make a barrel of California Wine. Fall is the harvest season for grapes in the Northern hemisphere. Your grapes make a journey from California wine country for you to enjoy a fun, social, & delicious winemaking experience. This wine is a red blend that Charlie Peters, founder of Grape Expectations, preferred; Barbera with a Cabernet compliment.

Schedule – This is a 9-month process that includes four hands-on sessions

Session #1 – Crushing – will occur in October 2023 on a Thursday (TBD) at 7 PM
Session #2 – Pressing – will occur in October 2023 (7 days after the Crushing) on a Thursday (TBD) at 7 PM
Session #3 – Racking – will occur in February 2024 on a Thursday (TBD) at 7 PM
Session #4 – Bottling – will occur in May 2024 on a Thursday (TBD) at 7 PM

As it gets closer to your winemaking process to begin, you will be notified by email the exact date your session will be scheduled. As our scheduling is dictated by the harvest season, we thank you for your understanding. At the end of this winemaking adventure, you will ‘graduate’ the winemaking sessions with a greater knowledge of wine, new friends, and, of course, one case* of your wine. (12 bottles)

*Additional cases may be available for purchase if additional inventory is available when you sign-up & check out.
