The crew is superb. Numerous, joyful, careful, untiring and unstoppable. We watch over each other as we make better wine than the project has ever made before.

I am still too much in the midst of things to give you a proper update. But I can say this. We have dry wines already, finished fermentations. We made rosé from the MN at left, but also a dry, skin-fermented, partial whole-cluster red. It will form the base wine for our Lambrusco project and will receive a secondary fermentation prior to bottling in the spring- to make it properly frizzante.

We have also already made a new MSL; this time with about 10% whole clusters fermented in the juice. And Naucratis, Gemella, Riquewihr, LSB, Prince, Glos, and Sylphs are all already in and in the midst of fermentation. We are dizzy, but happy. A very good year.
