Just completed (first ever) batch of cab from a kit (Grand Cru). everything went fine...except after the bottling was finished we noticed that there was some sediment in the bottom of most bottles. After opening the first bottle, turns out we also didn't degass good enough.
I am not worried about the gas, since we can put in a decanter and it is fine.
more concerned about the excess sediment in many bottles.
question is -- am I ok to uncork the bottles with sediment, strain them and rebottle?
the wine has been bottled for 3 weeks now.
thanks in advance.
