The Gewurztraminer is coming along nicely, dry with some mineral tones. Still has a few weeks to lose the gas and fermentation aromas.

Everything else will be checked on this week.

I picked up our new batch of grape juice last night. Amarone, Ruby Cab., Riesling, and Gewurztraminer. The juices tasted great and I am looking forward to seeing what comes of these.

The plum wine is coming along wonderfully! When the golden plums were all I had easy access to I wasn't sure what the outcome would be. I love GOLD! Easy there Goldie Wang...

The gold color is stunning and the plum flavor is in good balance with some acidity and sweetness. I need to do some back sweetening to get it to dessert level, but it is well on its way.

I hope you liked the tease. It won't be ready for two months.

Good evening! I am just getting going but I assure I will be talking about wine a lot.

Currently I have a NH Golden Plum wine fermenting and Cab, Amarone and Montelpulciano bulk aging.

I have some fresh juices on the way at the end of the week and I expect that will keep me busy through the end of the year.

Cheers
