Pietro looked in on the wine at about 18:30.  We didn't do a full punchdown, but fiddled about and discussed purchasing a new press on Saturday.  Was very happy to see that the smaller Muscat cb was in full fermenting swing - plopping the bubbler.  Will watch the temp tomorrow AM and may decide to ice it down. 
M&P here at about 8 PM.  We punched down the grapes and chatted through what supplies might be needed. 
9:30 temp check of everything, but too pooped to take Brix reading.  Everything continues to descend except the Muscat, which is rising.  Everything seems right-on.  Injected a couple of squirts from the ore active small Muscat cb into the less active large one.  Hopeful for Saturday, but might need to push off a day or two for the Merlot blend.
Plus ultra.
