Slowly turning our attention toward 2014 grapes

M&M has been sending the occasional alerts.  Morewine hasn't shipped the new press yet.  We haven't given serious thought to what we might make, or even whether we'll be able to make, given our current schedules.

But yesterday I took a walk to Brooklyn Homebrew's new digs on 20th Street and came away with some fresh titrets, meta, a little in-line plastic ball-valve that might be nice for bottling (rather than pinching the tube), and a hand-capper and caps (to satisfy my urge to occasionally do a few small and odd-sized little picnic bottles of wine).   The guys at Homebrew let me know that they can have any of the Wyeth yeasts given a week's notice.

We also seriously still need to find time to blend and bottle the 2012 Merlot & Cab Franc.
