Bottling, Corking, Labeling and Sealing

Yesterday Seth and I, accompanied by Mark and Sarah (Seth's parents) and my mom and sister, went back to Buckeye Winery in Newark to bottle the wine we made for the wedding. We had a seriously good time. The bottling process was fun, but I kept being afraid I would over fill. Their auto corker was broken, so we used a manual corker that was honestly so fun that I was not sad about the broken equipment. The labels we chose turned out beautiful, and we got to label them all. We ended up with 30 bottles of each flavor of wine, so 60 bottles total. That was more than we expected, and will work out perfectly for us.
