Welcome to my blog. I’ve been making wine for many years — it’s a passion that I enjoy sharing with friends and everyone with an interest in this wonderful art!
Tomorrow, I’ll drive to Gino Pinto’s and pick up the Malbec grapes. I‘ve received my yeasts and nutrients in the mail and am doing a once over for measurements. I have my list ready to go for a successful crush Saturday!
If you’re just starting out in winemaking, all the new terminology can make you dizzy well before your first sip. Never fear. A biology degree on your curriculum vitae is not a prerequisite for becoming a home vintner. But learning a few key terms will help make the process less mysterious and more fun even faster.
It has been years since I have made Malbec and I am super excited. I have ordered the items below today so that everything is fresh and ready for crush. If you are crushing with us, you can use this as a shopping list. If you are not crushing, you are more than welcome to be a virtual member of the crush crew.
