Man, more than nine months since the last look at the blog.
After much travel and many busy weekends, it suddenly looks like we will not skip winemaking this year, but will get Chardonnay grapes from Musto's Lanza vineyard in Suisan Valley. With luck Cousin Jake will drive them down to us on this coming Friday, and we'll be crushing on Saturday, October 1. He's driving a car, not a rig, so we're not sure how much he'll be able to haul, but we're still hoping for 500 to 600 #.
Our first venture away from Muscat for our whites. We know we'll be in steel or glass. We know there won't be any oak. We don't know what yeast we'll use, or whether we will try to kill malo or just let the wine and the cellar do what they want.
Yippee!
