2012 Muscat racked - day 96 (Jan 5, 2013)

Happens very year, doesn't it?  We want to rack the Muscat early and bottle it early, and before we know it it's January and the only prior racking was to get it off the gross lees.

Went from 5+5+5+growler to a liter shy of 3+3+3.  So we topped it off with 750 ml of 2011 Muscat and the remainder from an unlabled bottle: I'm guessing 2010 (and the remainder of that bottle will go into taralli tomorrow morning).

Color's good.  Will test later in the day and post the results here.  Didn't really tast yet either - sleep was still in my month.

Should we fine?  I think the group should decide in a week or so, with the notion of doing it soon and then racking & bottling February and March.
