Radio Interview

I realize it's been forever since updating the blog, but it's because we've moved to "faster" media - primarily Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook: - search for "Seven Bridges Wines"
Twitter: - follow "7BridgesWines"

Also, Bob and I were guests on an internet radio show called "Savor Portland," talking about the beginnings of the winery and making quality wine. The show is available as a free download at:
http://www.savorpdx.com/. We are Episode "10." The direct link to the .mp3 file is here ---> http://savor.pdxaudioarchive.com/savor010.mp3 (you probably want to right click and "Save as" this file, as it's pretty big, otherwise it downloads and plays in your browser).

We bottled 60 cases of our Malbec blend and it is currently sitting in the winery waiting for the labels to be printed, as well as waiting for "bottle shock" to wear off. Bottle shock occurs when wine is initially bottled or sometimes when it is physically bounced around a lot, like during shipping. It's not a completely understood phenomenon (I suppose that's what makes it a phenomenon), but seems to be related to perceptible chemical changes in the wine that correct themselves about 30-45 days after the bottling.

We hope to be selling the Malbec plus futures of the rest of our 2008 in early summer.
