After bottling our 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon earlier this month, my youngest son Kevin, asked what other wines did we have in the making. When I told him none he was reflective and said that this was the first time since 2008 that we didn’t have something aging. Well, we couldn’t let that last for long.
As of this writing we do not have any juices fermenting. It isn’t for lack of trying though. Our power is out for the second day. This has delayed the making of a Sauvignon Blanc from a kit, peach wine from scratch and a raspberry melomel from scratch. Actually since I have only two fermentation bins one of those will have to wait and it won’t be the peaches. The peach wine is Kathy’s wine. We hunted for directions on the Internet and settled on one. The melomel can be made at any time. The raspberries were frozen, at least they were two days ago. If we don’t get our power on soon, the melomel may be made immediately. Although there are no wines fermenting at this moment, by the holidays there should be three aging … if we get our power back on.
Cheers,
Terry
