Last week the game that EPIC gave away for free was Tomb Raider
This game is actually a lot of fun and very addictive!
You proceed at your own pace. Sell a few bottles each day.
The 2030s and 2040s vintages are turning out great.
For the first decade I tried to keep expenses low. I almost ran out of money when I was expanding into Chardonnay sales started to explode.
This is what I have managed to stock up and am selling now.
I have lots of customers now but I won't sell the good stuff for less than 20 and some of my best wines now sell for a premium.
I am completely out of many classics.
Here is a list of all the wine's I have shared in the comments..
1st Barbera 2022 67/100
2nd Joey 2022 Barbera 60/100
Streisand 2023 Barbera 50/100
Professor X 2024 Barbera 60/100
Grizzly 2025 Barbera 57/100
Black Moose 2028 Barbera 72/100
Bounce 2029 Barbera 53/100
Blue Rabbit Barbera 79/100
Angry Tiger 2031 83/100
I have 3 vineyards and my newest is acidic but seems to be in favour of the Barbera I am growing there. The first one I started with is overly acidic.
I may uproot the Barbera vines and plant another variety there.
The Chardonnay growing in the South-East lot is way too acidic.
This may be a better spot for the Barbera, or the new Vine strain I unlocked.
I'll make another Angry Tiger.

This week's https://peakd.com/hive-135941/@darkflame/stealing-the-crown win thread.
My first batch of wine, rated 67/100.
These bottles are flying off the shelf! People can't get enough.
My second batch of wine, rated 60/100.
My third batch, ruined by new technology. Fermented too much acidity away. 50/100
However people are still buying it, and some even like it!
Batch 4 is Professor X and its about the same as Joey, but people like Joey.
Success! Barbara wine grapes are doing great.
Here goes the next batch. Aiming for a better balance of Tannins and more Body during fermentation.
Grizzly 2025 has too many Tannins. 57/100, slightly better than Streisand.
More success! Improving with age.
Red Rabbit needs more body, 63/100
I bought a Barrel so now I can age this Barbara 2030,
I think it will call this next batch Blue Rabbit.
I have started to get the hang of this wine making game.
Now I want to make my own wines more than ever!!
Black moose 2028 !! 72/100, still needs more body.
Bounce 2029 is a 53/100 Barbera 13.5% alcohol
Blue Rabbit 2030 Barbera 10% x 3060, rated 79/100 !
Barrel aging helped increase the Body of this wine. It should be a hit!
Blue rabbit is flying off the shelf!
Angry Tiger 2031 Barbera Vol 10% x 2760, rated 83/100
Green Duck 2032 Chardonnay vol 10% X 941, rated 55/100. A little too acidic.
Pink Lily 2032 Barbera 10% x 2743, rated 85/100! Good acidity.
Red Rose Chardonnay 2033 15.3% x 9434, rated 56/100. May not be acidic enough.
Fox 2034 Barbera 13.2% x 3230, 53/100 needs more Body.
My new favourite game is called Hundred Days and it's all about growing and selling wine. I wasn't sure at first how fun it would be and it was a bit confusing, but after getting rave reviews on a decent bottle my popularity is soaring. After all these years I should have my own wines, shouldn't I? The Barbera vines are selling well; Black Moose is completely gone, Blue Rabbit sold well, and Pink Lily turned out really good. Even lower quality batches like Green Duck sold great and people really liked Joey. Looks like i've sold about $40,000 worth over a decade, last picture. Did I mention this game is free this week on EPIC? Join me in the adventure of a vineyard.
All I have left in stock to sell is Chardonnay 2033, Castle 2035 and Violet haze 2035--
Purple Rabbit is almost perfect! Almost. 92/100

I have sooo much wine to bottle it took me like 3 years to catch up.
Seriously still running and here is another harvest ready to go already. All my vats are full I lost a great crop.
The year is 2060... it is Springtime... I cannot sleep...
I am still bottling my wine and keeping my vines healthy.
My old bones crack as I walk down the path. Will my sons continue this important work?
I have so much work to do lol why Dog why?
Happy Rabbit 2060 Barbera 13.1% x 2933, rated 95/100
It is 2064 and I am still bottling FOXY from 2059. I lost four crops because I was so backlogged I spent most of the 2050's trying to catch up on bottling old wine while planting new vineyard crops expanding the varities available. I have leveled up completley and expanded as much as I am able to in this particular mode.
My plan is to focus on treating my crops and bottling the Foxy 2059 and Hazy Violet 2059 first, and then get the Barbie Bunny 2060 and Erbaluce 2062 bottled too.
I may still be able to downsize some of these barrels and buy more large metal vats.
You must ensure you have a tank available before you do this, or you will lose the crop.
Twenty two thousand pounds of Chardonnay 2064, could be lost. I've lost at least 6 crops this way.
I will select a Steel tank, and I plan to sell the concrete tanks to buy more steel ones.
My first crop of Erbaluce 2064 turned out Great!
I will get 4,259.7 gallons after pressing. I'm doing this in the rain.
And here come's the latest Batch of Barbera 2064
It turned out great too!! My next bottles are coming soon.
The outcome of this whole process can be altered at any time.
