[MedPretzel]

Hello,


I am not a good taster, so my husband is usually the guinea pig with my wines for the "subtler" tastings. (I usually take a gulp and say, "This is not bad!")





But one common theme has been said every single time he tastes it. He swears he can taste the yeast out of it. Even if I filter it, I age it, if I use finings in it, and if I rack like a million times.





Could it be the yeast? Could it be that my husbandis convinced of something that is not there? (hehehe, that might be fun)





Thanks for your help

[Hippie]

It could be either, but I have heard lots of people say they can taste yeast in a young or too-young wine. I haven't figured that taste out yet, I just know it tastes green or young.

[MedPretzel]

I see. I can tell it's young too, but never the yeast.





So, basically, I should just age them a lot longer?

[Hippie]

Yes, in the coolest, darkest place in the house, for a year longer than you normally would. I saw those pics with all the wine, you have no excuse to be in a hurry.

[MedPretzel]

Thanks. It's hard to go down there and not snatch a bottle for myself. I will wait, though.

[Hippie]

But you have all those other older bottles to drink while waiting for the younger ones to age.

[MedPretzel]

True. Thanks for reminding me!

[Hippie]

Just trying to help you achieve some age on those wines!

[MedPretzel]

Oh, you are. It's just so hard to wait for them to be perfect.





I guess tonight is going to be a "design-a-label" night.





One more night without wine.

We are ready to see some of the final products!
