After being harvested and
crushed, the grapes go to the tanks
for fermenting, a process that takes
one month or years depending on
the wine. The Caplans have turned
the actual wine making over to

ing to bottling. Part of his duties
include testing the wine during its
processing for alcohol content, tot
al acidity, pH, and sugar content.
Some day the Caplans expect to
produce 14,000 gallons of wine
from the grapes they grow. When
they get to the point where they
need more grapes, they hope to be
able buy them from area growers.
“We’re trying to encourage local
growers to raise wine grapes,” said
Richard. “It’s a labor-intensive
crop, but not back-breaking and
you could make $3,500 or $4,500
per acre.”
The Caplans and Smith expect
their first wines to be ready in the
spring. Their first offerings will be
mostly whites and light reds.
