State of the Grapes
It’s been a busy couple weeks at Amocat Cellars, but things have settled down now that the grapes have been pressed and the wine is slowly doing its thing.
It may not look like it but there’s a quarter ton of grapes bubbling away in these containers: Syrah, Merlot, Cab, and Cab Franc.
Wine ala basement table top. From left to right: old games, 1 gallon merlot (”double fermented”), sanitizing spray bottle, another gallon of Merlot, sanitizing solution, 1 gallon Cab Franc, and 5 gallons Cab Franc (with expired yeast cells showing on the bottom).
Looking down at 100 pounds of Syrah grapes.
