We racked the Pinot Gris today and I thought I would share some pictures and thoughts.
This is the sediment from today. Why I posted this picture is that this is the color the wine start out as. I was most sceptical at the beginning.
Here it is racked into a 5 gallon carboy. I was not going to dilute this wine with ANYTHING. I only thought I had tasted Pinot Gris. This wine is the best white I have ever made. The bottle of sediment is in the frig for drinking tonight!
My wife and I also tasted the following:
All Juice Sauvignon Blanc
All Juice Trebbiano
All Juice Chardonnay
Master's Barolo
Meglioli Barolo
All of these wines are 6-10 weeks old and starting to develop some really nice complexity. The Chard has been a disapointment up to today, by the harsher tannins have started to fade and the flavors are coming out. All of these will be very good wines with the Meglioli Barolo being a fantastic wine. I will definitely have the Meglioli's for sale next year, so start managing your wine budget accordingly. If you want to make the best kit wine, this is it!
BTW, the wine wanted more than just a taste of the Pinot and Barolo, but I told her, "NO"! The couch is looking very comfortable tonight!
