Weather looks good, a little warmish. Cellar is 73 F, one degree cooler than starting day 2011.
The old hands look to be:
Cheatle, Grimaldi, Lewis, Savino, Sclafani.
The new hands look to be:
Fabricant, Rakoubian, Warren.
On the road, but hopeful for cooling & racking are:
Badulescu and Bothwell.
We have a seriously good spread of surnames.
New tracking spreadsheet is created and posted in the right hand column.
Focaccia dough will go into the fridge tonight for a long, cool rise.
Savino to be at the house at 8:15 for the trip to terminal market.
Giddayap!

Just spoke to Mrs Lapide of Lapide fame, and she says that she's expecting an ongoing wave of grapes from CA through Columbus Day. I asked about syrah, and that she's expecting tomorrow--Tues. latest.
Spoke to Doug at PI Wines, and he recommended a different yeast for the CA blend--Lallemand 71B.
