The Italian should not have a problem with the Noma-Corks.

I transferred my Italian reds off the oak last night. They have been sitting for 2 months. I did a Chianti, Valpolicella and a Barolo. The Chianti and Valpolicella were sitting on 4 1/2 oz of medium French oak and the Barolo had 2 spirals of Medium American oak. All taste very good but I...

Getting ready to place an order again. These will be branded this time around. Branding is still $100 but the 1+1 corks went up to $140 per 1000. Still not a bad deal for a quality cork.

This past weekend the Dance school our daughter belongs to had the Nutcracker performance. We were the Baumgarden family. It was one crazy busy weekend.

Racked my PA juice to the cold stabilization room since temperatures are supposed to start dropping. I figure I'll pull back out the week after Christmas.

Cleaned off the outside stairwell so that I can start transferring juice outside for cold stabilization.

JohnT, Is this looking a little better than all the carboys? Have the stands for them as well. Lol

Nice meeting you yesterday. Best of luck to your friends that are getting out of the business.

Living in SW Pennsylvania, I'll stick my wine out under the cellar steps when the temperature reaches and stays around 25 degrees. I generally leave outside for 3-4 weeks at those temps. Tartrates drop out like crazy.

Setting the carboy on a 2x4 allows all the sediment to settle to one side of the carboy allowing for a more effective racking. When racking, rack from the high side of the carboy then slowly lower so as to not disturb the lees. Heavy lees will stay at low side of carboy.

John, I have 2 of those full with Vidal Blanc and Tart Cherry. I'll be picking up some 100 liter VC tanks this weekend.

Happy and sad carboys... From back row to front: Catawba Niagra Fredonia Row4 Seyval Blanc, Elderberry and Crabapple Concord and the 3 to the right are Valpolicello, Chianti and Barolo.

We went with the 650...

Yesterday was Dusty's first official day on the job. She started to work promptly at her scheduled time, zig-zagging across the floors in her random pattern. I checked after about an hour, floors looked great and the dock light was blinking. It she worked for another 40 minutes making her way...
