Especially as the wildfires continue to ravage the California wine country, wine makers and winelovers are looking for new places to store and preserve what they have.
City Winery Bostonwinemaker Richard Jacob has come up with a unique approach that takes advantage of the East Coast’s history and terroir. Taking a tip from earlier revolutionaries, the Medford MA, native recently dropped over 150 bottles of his award-winning locally-made wine into the ocean in lobster traps and does not plan to pull them up until November!
Apparently, such ocean aging has been going on in the Mediterranean for years and the darkness and cool and generally consistent water temperatures can help make relatively young wines taste older and more developed in less time. Barring a shark attack, wine pirates, or some very lucky lobstermen, it can keep them safely stored as well!
At the 2021 Eastern States Exposition’s Wine Competition(a.k.a., The “Big E”), Jacob received one of only five gold medals for his 2019 Chardonnay and silver medals for his Wicked Good Sauvignon Blanc and Cobblestone Cabernet Sauvignon, so it is clear that he knows his way around wine. As such, his new storage and aging idea may bear fruit elsewhere and he is planning tasting events in November so others can enjoy the fruits of his liquidy labors.
In the meantime, both Jacob’s wines and many others are available to enjoy at City Winery, which is again hosting concerts and other events and has a pretty good food menu as well.
