Campbell Brothers Winery: 2002 - Bottling, Gladiating and Curses

This was the year of extravagance, two labels plus a card. Oh my.

Welcome

I am new to the world of blogs and posting things on the internet. I know a bit about computers and a bit about the internet but I'm no geek, so to speak. My reason for starting this site is actually to create a space out there in the plenumvoid to feature the labels and stories of a ficticious winery, the Campbell Brothers Winery. The stories which go with each of the labels concern a ficticious couple of brothers who drunkenly wobble their way through histories past, present and future. In effect this site is dedicated with raised glass and much affection to my brother Ralph with whom I have shared many a glass and many a laugh as well. He'll get a real kick out of this. I hope you do too.

A message from Ralph

Hi, I am the other brother, the older one, Ralph.

I remember the first time we made wine. It was at Colin's place, in a small section of his basement, lit by a single light bulb dangling from the rafters. A couple of years later we moved the works to my place and set up in a small section of my basement, lit only by a single light bulb.

We didn't talk to anyone about making wine, we learned as we went. We had to come up with lots of interesting solutions to different problems. We almost have the system down, with the occasional mishap (like when a batch of red wine exploded).

Over time I became the chief bottle washer and wine maker.

Colin has a gift for words. I put my two cents in and he comes up with the stories. We mull the ideas over and then Colin runs with it and comes up with great labels.

We have a lot of fun making the wine and coming up with the stories.

We hope you enjoy them both too.

Ralph
