I love the smell of must in the morning. This is a photo of one of two fermenters that I started yesterday. Each contains about 10 gallons of crushed and destemmed cabernet sauvignon. The grapes were picked Monday. Yesterday I added yeast about 11AM. By midnight last night, the fermentation process was fired up. There is a unique aroma to fermenting grapes. I find I miss it after the wine has been buttoned up in bottles. To me, this is one more event that makes fall so great.
