Wines
At Cat-n-Bird we pride ourselves on hand making every bottle at our boutique winery located in Chelsea, AL. We import grapes and juice from vineyards all around the world. We start the process with fermentation and then babysit the wine as it develops until we bottle, cork, and label and then sell from our tasting room.
Each batch produces approximately 550 - 600 bottles and we have the capacity to run up to 12 unique varietals at a time.. Because of our boutique production, we introduce new wines and retire others monthly; the list below is an overall list of the wines we produce and may not have every one in stock.
Come by to learn more, take a tour of the process, and enjoy a glass with us.
