I worked with Bill Gadino briefly, before he 'retired' and focused on the wine.

That's what we need to do, you in?

Aside for being fun and a good learning experience, I'm doing it for a selfish reason. I want to make sure they remember my request for grapes. I'm bringing two 32 gallons brutes with me just in case. I almost don't care what grapes they will have harvested I just want local grapes.

I like the way you think.

Got a truck load of grapes and life is good!

Tomorrow we crush.

ME TOO! Explorer full, 825lbs, cab, zin, merlot and malbec. 460 miles round trip, left at 4:30am and back home at 1:30. Ready to rock and roll,
All lodi. Numbers really high on Malbec, zin and merlot, like 27 -28 kind of high. Cabernet is at 23.5 on the few grapes i tested. Will have to figure that out once I crush and re-measure.
I'm going to sleep about as good as a kid on christmas eve tonight.

Then getting LOADED

John and Mike:

You guys pick up your grapes, then let 'em sit at room/outdoor temp overnight?

 

[JohnT]

I let them sit in a sealed box truck outside. It is now 53 degrees.

 

[Boatboy24]

I imagine things are getting pretty busy at John's place about now...

 

[Kraffty]

I crank my AC down to low 60s in the winery over night. Grapes are still cool in the morning. Mike
