Well, fermentation has been happy, happy, happy. But I have hurt my knee, just in time for coming pressing duties on Sat. or Sun. and starting the second pressing wine.
Nursing the knee along because pressing has to get done. That's the one place I can't procrastinate.
House smells good. My hands smell so good after punching the bags down that I don't want to wash them.

Got the grapes pressed and the must in carboys. Sorta disappointed in the yield, I only got 8 gallons out of it. I can see from the top that it will indeed be golden.
Tasted some right out of primary, and it tasted awful. Added a bit of sugar, and it tasted fabulous! Got the second pressing wine going, too...
