Almost Wordless Sunday - Feng Shui in Winemaking

Almost Wordless Sunday - Feng Shui in Winemaking

 

Last weekend we traveled from Katy TX by flying red eye flights to the destination and back. We visited three wineries during our trip. At one winery there is a huge room loaded with wine in oak barrels. The lights dim automatically and there is chants being played in the room. The tour guide told us this winery was  using Feng Shui with their wine while it was aging in the barrels. I personally thought this was very cool. Here are a couple pictures of the room. I did record a video with my phone but it is not ready for prime time yet.

Bob,

Napa's Artesa Winery which is built inside a mountain has in their barrel room the sound of monks chanting.  It is enchanting!  Were you in New York?  A

Wow  --- I would never have imagined Feng Shui in wine making.  It seems I learn something new here on AR every day.

Feng Shui in Winemaking - Who knew, Bob!  I can imagine if one unplugged one of those barrels for testing, most any barrel placement would make good Feng Shui.  I guess we'll need to ask Laura Cerrano (Feng Shui specialist) about that.

Looks like there is a proper way to arrange every room!    Hopefully some day I will be able to see it in person.  

Hope you have a great week.

Hi, Bob...that's a big winery. I'm all into Feng Shui. I hope it works for this wine, but I would drink it anyway.

Robert (Bob) Gilbert I believe this is so true and nice way of aging the winery!

Hi Bob.  It would be interesting if we could compare the Feng Shui wine with the non Feng Shui ones.
