Blend Your Own Barrel
If you want to personalize how your wine is made from start to finish, we
recommend BYOBarrel. This option also provides the best value on a
per-bottle cost basis. You call all the shots, but you don't have to lift a
finger. Or roll up your sleeves and get up close and personal with the
fruit. Your choice. Here's what your BYOBarrel experience may include,
regardless of how hands-on--or off--your approach:
Expert-guided winemaking marrying old-world, small-batch techniques to BYOB's
proprietary wine-making software.
After sourcing your fruit, BYOB's
winemakers will help craft your wine, tailored to your tastes. Cabernet
Sauvignon or Chardonnay? An intense, extracted red or a crisp, lean white?
BYOB provides the optimum match between premium fruit and proven method.
Opportunities to taste your wine at every important step.
After
fermentation, after settling and racking for whites, and after malolactic
second-fermentation and racking for reds, it's critical to taste. Schedule a
private tasting session with your wine-maker, or have us send you the
results, to savor in the privacy of your own home. Better yet, turn your
tasting into a social gathering with your best friends. We can help you plan
a custom event of almost any size.
A choice of the finest grapes sourced from proven vineyards with signature
Northwest terroirs.
We'll guide you through the process of deciding which
vineyards and varietals meet your specifications. Visit the vineyards during
harvest; you'll be surprised by how early the final wine reveals itself. You
might even befriend a farmer or two along the way.
Domestic and international oak barrel options.
We've already field-tested
the best wine barrels from all over the world, so you don't have to.
Hard-core enthusiasts will be thrilled to taste how oak from various regions
will bring out different nuances from the same batch of grapes.
A private online account enabling BYOBarrel-makers to monitor their wines
from crush to bottling.
You'll receive documentation of the entire process
through tasting notes, photos, and even live video feed from BYOB's
crush-cam.
A la carte Options
Whether you blend a barrel or a case, you'll definitely want our assistance
in packaging the final result. Like every other service we offer, there's
something for everyone in our post-production menu.
A variety of bottling options.
Cork, synthetic, screwtop, or vinoseal glass
stopper? Green glass or brown? An off-the-shelf or designer bottle? We have
a bottling option to suit every whim and fancy.
Custom label service to take your finished wine to the next level.
BYOB can help you create a label and brand, assist in selling and distribution, and
offer your wine for sampling during special events in our tasting room.
