Poppyseed Cellars

My first post from my ipad…using a WordPress application. So far, I think the regular web interface of WordPress is much better than the ipad app. In fact, the ipad wordpress app sucks. Even just using safari on the ipad isn’t very good.

All the wine is resting quietly. On Christmas day, our visiting family did some barrel tasting of the syrah. The smaller barrels were still smoother, making me think that the MLF has progressed farther in the smaller barrels. I will do some measurements this week.

Next steps:

1. test the syrah and pinot for mlf completion.
2. Rack the Sauvignon blanc. It looks like it will need fining as it is still cloudy. Plus I still have a 2007 merlot and a 2008 syrah to get into bottles, this winter.

Erwin got a used full size barrel That we hope to rack the syrah into when the mlf is complete. We need to get it out of the new oak…or we’ll be drinking wood!
