What R you doing today?

[Tom]

So, What are you and Dan picking up?
I suggest to get a lug of grapes and add to the juice.

 

[Runningwolf]

Just got back and i was the first one to get Chilean Juice this year! I got Carmenere, Malbec, Red Zinfandel, Muscato and Pinot Grigio. They get about 15-20 extra buckets of each kind so I was able to get the Malbec even though I didn't order it. They get another dilivery in mid April.

 

[Tom]

Did U get Oak as well?
get any grapes to go with the reds?

 

[Tom]

I still have the Chilean aging from last year. I added 2#' of raisins to each red + 2C of met oak after secondary.
MLF on all reds

 

[Julie]

Been back, I bought 4 buckets, Muscato, Sauvignon Blanc, Malbec & Reisling. Got in the laundry room warming up.

Had a good time, it was nice meeting Dan for lunch. Got to meet the genetlman who makes the wine, Joey, and I will definitely be buying my buckets from here for now on. Joey was a wealth of information and he takes the work out making wine for you.

Been teaching Tristen about gardening and growing plants. We started our turnip seeds today. We have enough seeds in every packet for just about two crops.
Nothing in primary yet. Carboys are full and resting. After the gardening gets done, it will be time to obtain, delabel and clean bottles.

 

[Daisy317]

Just bottled my concord and started a batch of apple. I have some grolsch beer bottles with swing caps... Currently enjoying the overflow that wouldn't fit in regular wine bottles. Not too shabby.

Heading to Pittsburgh's Strip District (shopping and produce markets) in the morning. Need to pick up a couple of carboys and a few other things.
