Corked

About two weeks ago, I went to a wine bottling party. There is a new place in Scottsdale called The Su Vino Winery and they have put a new spin on wine tasting. Instead of swirling, sipping, and spitting (that last part is optional), you get to bottle your own wine and take it home with you. The photo to the left is of the corking machine. You set the bottle inside, close the door, and “whoosh” the air is sucked out and the cork is pushed in.

Check out their website if you are interested in more details.

Judy said...: Looks like your kind of place! That spit part seems like such a waste but I guess if you tasted too many without that part it would be you who was wasted.; July 13, 2010 at 8:43 AM
