About 1000 Stories
When Bob Blue began making wines, he found that wine barrels weren’t very easy to come by, and American oak was typically used for whiskey and not wine. So, what he did was purchase (and neutralize) used bourbon barrels. Even with French and American oak rising to prominence, Bob kept using the bourbon barrels, eventually no longer neutralizing them. Working in small lots, 1000 Stories is Bob Blue’s vehicle for showing off his unique and expressive interpretations of the fruit.
