Video of Grape Crush for a 2012 Barrel of Cabernet Sauvignon
Monday, 22. October 2012
On Saturday we spent the morning crushing our grapes (Cabernet Sauvignon) at Tin Lizzie Wineworks in Clarksville, Maryland. We’ve already been asked a couple of times if we stomped the grapes with our feet! The answer is no, no and no! Our son-in-law then added that he would like a bottle of our wine when it is ready in two years.
The grapes had arrived from California’s Napa Valley. Despite the long distance, the grapes arrived in wonderful condition, not a spot of mold or rot. Of course, they were very cold and we had to wait until Sunday to add the yeast. Terry wrote a comprehensive blog on the Winemaking site about our experience on Saturday. He also created a short free video. Hope you check it out to see what it’s like to make your own barrel of wine.
Cheers! Kathy
