Day 3, 2009, AM

Grenache seems like it's starting to slow - same temp as last evening. Cap maybe a little less vigorous.

Merlot blend seems at it's height. +5" cap, up 1.5' temp from last night.

Grenache same temp as last night, pinprick bubbles have started to form foam over 1/2 surface. Will get Brix this evening.

Muscat temp raised 4.5' from last night to 76.5. 1/2" foam on larger cb, less on smaller. Want to start cooling this. Will check references for optimal temp. Have moved to a hopefully cooler spot in the cellar, and placed cbs into galvanized tubs for icing down.

Everything is where it ought to be, ladies and gentlemen.
