This was our first bottling of Twisted Barrel wine for our family. Our youngest son, Brock, had these words to share:

”March 18th, 2022 - Another day I will never forget. After a long work week, not only for myself but for my whole family (which I knew as we began to schedule this) I walked into Twisted Barrel Winery and was amazed to see how blessed I am with such a strong working family, a strong working set of friends, strong close family friends, and the strong working Tanner Family. They had all stations manned and operating and had already gotten through our latest bottling of 2018 Lodi Cabernet Sauvignon, I was able to get into the 2018 Lodi Sangiovese with everyone and just felt the love and support that everyone brought and just had the opportunity to laugh, to share these memories with them, to be able to be humbled and grateful for everyone but especially Mark Tanner for still teaching me, helping me, and honestly - still "the man" when it came to fixing anything that came up. We also were able to complete some of the 2018 Lodi Syrah and fully stock the 2018 Lodi Charbono, so just keep in mind we are becoming fully stocked again of some of everyone's favorites! I look forward to many more evenings like this that I can share with family, friends, and my Fiancé for making a surprise visit and getting herself involved immediately, because this is what it is all about at the end of the day. I love what I do for the Scotto's, I love
what I do for my family, and I simply love winemaking. 

By the way, the special Sparkling Wine will be restocked this upcoming week and the 2021 Lodi Symphony is coming up next for bottling... excited for everyone to have this available, especially as the temperatures begin to rise.”

Brock is currently a winemaker for Scotto Family Vineyards and the baby of our family. Thought you might all enjoy reading his perspective on our first bottling experience.
