Last night I opened 17 out of the 31 and racked into a 3 gallon carboy.
Some of bottle popped more than others.
When all the wine was in the carboy, there were some good suds.
Now I will either do some racking back and forth tonight to get it degassed or just let it sit for 3 months (I dont drink wine that sits in a carboy) then bottle during mid summer. (I kind of need that 3 gal empty).
But I did drink what did not fit into the carboy. Not bad, but had a young, not finished taste to it.
