Yeah - it's done. Now more racking

According to our tests, Ms. Merlot finally finished Malolactic Fermentation in March. Thanks for taking your sweet time, red.

Now we're racking again - moving the wine out of the barrels, cleaning the barrels, then putting it back. It's kind of time intensive, and I was able to skip out on this round by being extraordinarily busy at work. Jill and Bob took care of it. (thanks, guys).

We still need to do the lighting wiring (still pretty dark in our space), and a little water sealing. I think I have a plan for the sealing.

By the way, I will probably abandon this blog in view of making a Facebook page for the winery. If you're on facebook - search for "Seven Bridges Wines." If you're not on Facebook, you need to be. You can be as active or as silent as you want, but it makes communication ridiculously fast.

Things are going to be quiet at the winery for awhile, at least for the wine. If we had an '07 vintage we'd be bottling it now.
