The (Beautifully Chaotic) Art of Making Wine

If you’ve never made a batch of wine, it can sound a little intimidating — like you need a chemistry degree and a crystal ball. But the truth is, once you get started, you’ll realize it’s mostly about repeating a few simple steps... and then hoping the wine cooperates.

Winemaking is equal parts art, science, and mild chaos. You can control the process, take notes, sanitize everything twice — and still, the wine will do whatever it wants. That’s part of the fun!

So go ahead — control what you can, and let the wine do the rest. You’ll laugh, you’ll learn, and at the end of the day, you’ll (probably) have something delicious to share.
