We've set a date for this year's new wine party, and almost forgot that we've been very sorely neglecting that wine.
Settled on american oak medium toast for the 2012 reds and have ordered it from Presque Isle. The reds have been wanting a racking for a while.
Would like to bottle the 2012 Muscat at the end of the 1st or 2nd week of April so that it will have been in the bottle for a couple of months (as opposed to our couple of weeks or even sometimes a couple of days) before our party. That means there is just about exactly enough time for us to rack and fine with Bentonite if we want to. I think I'd be OK with just racking - we're very clear now. (Mine might be the minority opinion.)
