Well the weekend of the 19th was a very busy one..Saturday I drove out to fallbright and picked up my 150 pounds of Cab Sauv grapes and 50 pounds of a grape called Carmine.
Also got 7 gallons of Traminette juice, 3 gallons of Chancellor for blending with a Cali Pinot Noir I have aging
So Saturday night i tested and tested some more to figure all the numbers for each type.
And then came Sunday which was real crazy....in the morning I added all of the yeast. Then around 6 that night my wife went into labor!
By five in the morning I had my second boy!!
And finally came tonight. I pressed the Cab grapes and now am letting 10 gallons of wine settle which i will rack off the gross lees tomorrow.
The Carmine is still fermenting away and has a couple more days to go. Ive never had this type of wine so if anyone has an idea about it, please let me know!
