Tasted and topped up a bit my 2015 Chilean Carmenere and my 2016 CA Syrah, both aging in carboys. The Syrah was as expected, very very young but promising. The Carmenere is just ok, not alot of flavor at 10 months in the carboy. Added more oak to both, med. + french oak cubes. Will taste...

My 2015 Chilean Malbec, pretty tasty.

Sitting at Logan International Airport waiting to go home. Long 1 day business trip.

Bottled my 2015 CA Cab. Very happy with it. Will definately benefit from more rest and time in the bottle. Very good now with potential to be superb over the next 12 months.

My 2015 Chilean Malbec, good, but needs more time in the bottle.

Used my AIO for first time today, what a great piece of equipment. Easy to set up and easier to use. Cut racking time in half, plus no lifting full carboys. Highly recommend.

Used my brand new AIO today to rack 12 gallon of fall 2016 wine. The AIO was the best, thanks Steve.

Broke out my new AIO today to rack my fall CA Syrah which finished MLF and racked my Moscato/Malvasia Bianca field blend. The AIO was super easy, especially from a guy coming off of double hernia surgery a few weeks ago. No more lifting full carboys, the AIO made racking a breeze.

Usually bulk age 6 months for whites and atleast 1 year for reds.

Putting final touches of design/plan on media center, bookcases and shelves we're building in our family room. Also need to rack my Syrah that finished up MLF and rack a Moscato. Using the All in One Wine Pump for first time, looking forward to trying it out.

Grapes and juice, first time with grapes, glad I went down that road.

@ Boatboy-Combination of juice buckets and grapes, was my first take using grapes, really glad I went down that path.

Wife and I had a bottle of my 2015 Chilean Trio Red with dinner-blend of Carmenere, Merlot and Malbec. Still only 18 months but aging quite nicely.

Day 4 of hernia repair recovery- feeling good. Feels like I just did 10,000 sit ups though. Had a buddy stop over to help rack 6 gallons of Concord and Traminette and move some carboys around. Both ferments were uneventful, which is always welcomed. The Traminette is quite fruity and high...

Nothing....day 2 of bilateral hernia surgery recovery, everything went well. My 36 hour self imposed pre surgery recovery assessment was waaaayyyy too aggressive. But, feeling better today

@ Boatboy24 & vernsgal- thank you @heatherd and vernsgal-This is my first time with Traminette, not sure what sg I'll backsweeten, if at all to, any thoughts?

@Matty_Kay I have Traminette brewing now. Do you plan to backsweeten and if so, what SG do you plan to target? I never made before so not sure if/what sg to back sweeten to. Any recommendations?

Left house at 6:30am to make it to PI wine when the doors opened. Picked up Concord and Traminette juice. Did yard work most of the afternoon and finished up with oldest daughters softball game. Started sauce earlier in the day so a very late pasta dinner for the family. Tomorrow I go under...

Hi Julie- I called on Friday and put in my order so I'm assuming they've got it. If not, I'll be coming home with several gallons of whatever else they have in supply for sure.
