WINFIELD, W.Va. (AP) - When Ruel and Deborah Armentrout have a few friends over for a glass of wine, there's nothing small about it.
Throughout the next few weeks, they will bottle more than 4,400 bottles of wine. That's 960 gallons of grape juice.
The Winfield couple and dozens of their closest friends, will enjoy every minute of the process that takes about a year from juice ordering to bottling.
The Armentrouts' first foray into winemaking was 10 years ago, when another couple asked them to join them in their hobby.
Now the group has expanded, with Deborah organizing and Ruel as the master winemaker.
The Armentrouts and their friends make a wide variety of wines, including cabernet sauvignon, chardonnay, riesling, and more.
