Behind The Scenes At Glatz Wine Cellars!

Glatz Wine Cellars

LFLF was lucky enough last night to be on a private tour of Glatz Wine Cellars in Aliquippa, PA.  The Beaver County Cooperative Extension Association had our meeting on the lovely outdoor patio at Glatz.  The Glatz family has a fine jewelry store in Aliquippa.  The wine cellar/tasting room is in the same location behind the jewelry store.
Aaron Glatz took us on a behind the scenes tour of their tasting room and the "backroom" where we saw the tanks and bottling line.  The grapes are pressed on the farm and the juice is brought here to the stainless steel tanks.  Notice the quality control lab behind the glass in the picture above ...

Glatz Wine Cellars - Bottle Label Set-Up

It was a little tough to get pictures of the huge stainless steel tanks ... too much glare, but we got to see the tanks and the bottling line.  So many labels waiting for wine!  :)

Like most of this part of the state, Aaron shared that they had a difficult season on the farm with the vineyard & grapes due to the cold winter.  As the official winemaker, he's got other ideas in mind for different wines this year ... stay tuned to their web-site to see what he comes up with! 
In addition to their own winemaking, Glatz supports the home winemaking and home brew aficionados in the area with an extensive line of supplies.
