It's been a while ...

Since I last made a blog post. Lately I've been doing some wine tasting. Its a new experience for me and I am actually starting to like it. I was doing some thinking one day and needed to come up with a strategy for what I wanted to do with my photography as far as marketing goes and I came up with marketing towards wineries. Upon doing my research, I found that there are a ton of wineries within an hr and a half drive each way of my home town. Last week I made my first wine tasting experience at a winery called Borra Vineyards. They are a very small winery compared to some of the big dogs like Gallo, Beringer and McWilliams. But nonetheless make some really good wine. I learned that within the Lodi area, the wineries mainly make Red Wines like merlot, Barbara and cabernet sauvignon due to the climate. Anyways, here are some photos I took both at the winery and after I bought some wine to photograph because I was bored


Tons of barrels of wine maturing before they get bottled. Most of the wine in these barrels are from 2007.


mmm grapes


This is Markus, he is the assistant Winemaker and he gave me a tour of the facility.


This is Bruce, He told me all about Borra Vineyards wine in the tasting room.

This was one of my favorite types of wines that Borra Vineyards produces, Barbera


Some other wine I bought from Bev-Mo. Beringer Moscato


and a Calloway Cabernet Sauvignon


Thats all I got for now though.
