Harvest is Here!

Last week, Scott, George & Rick were outside picking the Frontenac and Foch and I was lucky enough to have a little sample and this year's grapes are delicious!  Great grapes make phenomenal wine!  The grapes were crushed and destemmed and added to a macro bin, where George added the yeast and the process of turning juice into wine began!  The yeast colony was roaring and we watched as the crushed grapes were rolling in the bin like lava.  We closed the bin up and called it a night.  Saturday morning, we walk into the tank room to find the grapes had been fermenting so violently, that they pushed the lid off and erupted onto the floor!  Scott wasn't too pleased, but we only lost about a gallon of grapes.  Harvest Continues....
