Ike,

I did a "battonage" with it. I racked all the lees from the primary into the secondary and stirred them well every few days for a month. Apparently a few people thought it was a good idea! =)

WOW, congrats Joan!!! I am looking forward to getting some age on mine. I did the battanage also.

Congrats on that Joan and I will be doing the same soon. Im usually not a huge white wine fan but have never really tried a good buttery Chard until i was a judge at a comp last week and I tried 2 Chards that were nice and buttery and loved them. You know how the rest goes!

Joan,

As a rookie, I appreciate all the help I can get.

Congratulations again!

Ike

Congrats! Looks like I need to add this to the ever growing list of kits to make.

Joan,


Rock on with the metal! How old was that wine at the time of the most recent judging?


Be sure to let Nino know about it.

Jim,

I started it just before Christmas 2007 and bottled at the end of March 2008 so it's been in the bottle 17 months. Unfortunately I only have one bottle left! =(
