Forgive my inexperience, but I had a question.
When it comes to racking off of the lees, it seems to me that you're always going to be short some wine in your next vessel (because of what you're leaving behind). So every time I ferment and rack, I'm always left with a shortage and unsure of what to top off with. This happens both after racking into a secondary and racking after the wine has cleared.
What am I doing wrong? Has everyone else figured this problem out and just doesn't talk about it? What's the 'trick?' I really don't want to add a different wine entirely into mine, but surely that isn't the only way?
