<a href="css_styles/default_style.css" target="_blank">Well, we were offered some grapes if we would pick them. Yeah!! So, 4 of us
plus the owner picked about 800# of italian varietals. Over 10 different. Was
not really enough for a good batch of anything so we decided to have a BIG
blend. Anyway, we are calling it Armonizzare Italiano.
This means Italian Blend. Hope it turns out as we all get a 5th
portion. Looks good so far Brix 24.5 Ph of 3.43 and TA .65. Coloring up good
too. So we will see and hope.

2 bins about full
crusher destemmer and must pump we were able to use - we crushed the 800# in 35 minutes but it took 2 1/2 hours to clean everything!! This equipment is at a different location - Bella La Vina Winery.
end post sign - like this for each varietal
Went back the next day and picked 1 white - this is a Russian White called Georgian Rkatsiteli. Interesting grape unique taste. We were able to get about 150# so we decided to hand process these. So here we are: first of all stripping the grapes (destemming)
and the crusher -
