Our sixth month wine update. The weekend before the super bowl Lori and I went to check on our wine. The purpose of this visit was to "rack" the wine. Racking is just a term to remove the wine from the barrel and clean the barrel of all the sediment that is formed in the wine process (ex: dead yeast cells) Since there are so many barrels and too little time, the facility demonstrated the racking process with random barrels and we were told if we found our specific barrel that we could take a little taste. In the pictures take notice of the happy faces of the tasters! So, now we are anxiously awaiting our next visit in August or September when we will bottle and label the finished product. Stay tuned

So did you choose "American Oak, medium toast"? Looks like you and Lori had an awesome time. I might need to learn a little more about wine before I sample the fruits of your labor.
That looks like a lot of fun. You two are well on your way to some tasty wine.

"american oak" was our only option, but I hope in the future that we can use Hungarian oak.
